The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

Back when I was in high school, I wore a fedora everyday to school, and a beige classic trench coat during the winter. There was this group of kids who would always see me, and every time they say me, they'd start going "Doo do doo do doo Inspector Gadget, doo do doo do dooo!!"

Seems like I either get called Inspector Gadget, Dick Tracy or Indiana Jones. Can't I just be plain old Jonathan who wears a fedora? [huh]

Good or 'cool' comments I've had have ranged from "Where'd you get your hat?" (I wear several fedora's, including the Indian Jones" brown felt you see) to "That's pretty gangster, dude."
Bad: I was walking at night one evening with my wife wearing my White Panama (Old Indy brand wide brim) and a car full of kids drove by and yelled out 'Shitkicker' at me.
Pretty stupid....

I've had people mutter "Harry Potter" under their breath around me. Apparently, the young fictional wizard apparently has a fondness for tweed jackets, fedoras and collarless shirts... [huh]

Does anyone here remember the days when you were polite to a man, his wife, and his children? You did so because you didn't know if he just might pull out a .25 or .32 out of his vest pocket and plug you with it. In those days, people were much more civilized, if not more in the spirit of self preservation than kindness. Not that I'm advocating violence or anything, but that was a much more polite time period.

the man behind the counter let loose the loudest "YEE HAW" I have ever experienced. It was actually pretty funny though.

This thread is great, but so lengthy I haven't read it all yet ... meaning I am not sure if I am the only one who has recieved this great (though a tad insulting) reference:

Inspector Clouseau. :eusa_doh:

Come to think of it the hat style fit and I am a bit bumbling ...
