Earmuff Parade

The people of Farmington, Maine recently held an earmuff parade. They've been doing this annually for the past 39 years to honor their most famous one-time resident, Chester Greenwood, inventor of the earmuff. He came up with the idea at the age of 15, while ice skating. WMUR.com

I prefer my watch cap. It only cost me 4 years and I don´t look like a dork.

Scene in a French restaurant:

Mike tries to show off his knowledge of French to his date.

"Je voudrais un cache-oreille frite, Si'il vous-plait."

"Congratulations, Mike. You just ordered a pair of fried earmuffs."
