Why aren't toupees removed during the national anthem?

[Jay31]

I mean, they are a form of head wear, so it should be removed technically. I mean, a toque is removed even if it is really cold out, and this head wear is serving a good purpose as well. If the act of removing head wear is respectful and expected of you during the national anthem, why shouldn't toupee's be removed as well?

Think about this, I am sure you will figure it out for your self.

 

[Hansel.]

for the same reason you dont shave your hair off. your hair is a form of headwear

 

[SteevJee]

It's society and corporate America bro.

 

[Commonwealth]

Yeah, bro, fuck corporations man. Those god damn CEOs and their tupees. They totally aren't rad.

 

[LMPJibbin]

I bet the founding fathers didn't take off those silly wigs when they said it, so from the beginning America has had a long tradition of taking off hats but not fake hair when standing for the national anthem.

 

[doublexl]

fucking hate the national anthem.

 

[Ben.]

for that matter. why doesnt the mascot have to take that shit off. toupee i can understand, but what about a fucking mascot head.

 

[SteezyasPie]

uh, they didnt say the national anthem. It wasnt even written until the war of 1812

 

[dantron88]

would you have to take a turban off as well?? i live in australia and its crazy relaxed over here no one gives a shit about our national anthem

 

[NW_Rider]

what a rebel!

 

[Mr.Panda]

This may be someting a little different but I am pretty sure that military personnel don't take off their softcover (hat) if they are in their dress uniforms during the singing of the National Anthem. Of course, they do hold a salute though.

 

[Thenowhereman42]

Oh.

...Did they still wear silly wigs then? I think they might have.

 

[SteezyasPie]

possibly, hopefully.

 

[NW_Rider]

Hahahaha, that was great, the slow development sealed it. Thank you!

 

[BEARS.]

because then theyd look like this guy.

 

[the_moderaper]

your one of those people who just pick and poke at everything that is fine the way it is and makes everything that doesnt need to change difficult... arent you

 

[Jay31]

no i've just always wondered why wearing a hat is disrespectful in buildings or during a national anthem, then thought, if head wear is disrespectful why isn't a toupee since it is still a form of hat.

 

[BEARS.]

a hat is something that covers your hair. a toupee is something that covers your bald.

 

[KFRADtheLaxBro]

for the national anthem i usually wear two hats and sit down. because i dont give a fuck.

 

[Smuffy]

op i like your train of thought.

 

[SteevJee]

Hesh as fuck!

[doublexl]
