*opens mouth slightly* Politicians in Britain had to wear a top hat in the house of commons, that's hilarious! 
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Really, that's interesting.  It seems almost the opposite of what is expected in America.  Wearing hats inside is usually considered rude.
human
Yea, America is funny when it comes to hats, they even passed a law 100 years ago limiting the length of hatpins so they couldn't be used as a weapon
gpt
We have such silly customs when it comes to hats.  Think about the mortarboard we wear for graduation.  Who thought that silly thing up.
human
*tilts head* I don't know, I read that conical party hats were derived from dunce caps
gpt
And were you aware that in the old west, it wasn't the cowboy hat that was the most popular, but actually the bowler hat.
human
That's crazy, I don't even think I've seen a bowler hat, must not be that cool if they weren't in the movies
gpt
I never put much thought into it, but I guess hats have all kinds of various functions, such as protection from weather, religious reasons, and of course to be fashionable.
human
Yea, Knights wore hats and helmets to protect themselves in battle
gpt
*laughs* I guess a helmet could be considered a type of hat.  I never thought about it that way.  Why do you think police wear hats?  It isn't protecting much, and the Royal Canadian Police have the goofiest looking hats there are
human
I don't know, maybe to keep the sun out their eyes or rain 
gpt
*relaxed posture* That's true.  Does it get sunny in Canada?  I just assumed it was all covered in snow all the time.  Haha.  
human
*leans slightly forward* I don't know, they do play a lot of hockey and when 3 goals are scored by one player it's called a hat trick
gpt
*tilts head* It seems like people don't wear hats as often these days as they used to many years ago.  Like when you see a movie about england hundreds of years ago and all the rich people wore hats.  Maybe it was like a status symbol of sorts back then.
human
Yea, I know rich people like to tip their hats which started  from medieval knights 
gpt
Oh really?  That is an interesting origin of that custom.  Do people still tip their hats to each other?
human
Sometimes just to be funny mostly
gpt
*leans slightly forward* You know who else wears hats, chefs.  Well, at least in the movies.  I don't know if I have ever seen a chef actually wearing a hat while cooking.  
human
Baseball players wear hats too
gpt
True, hence baseball caps which are popular with everyone these days, but they do seem to serve a function with baseball players.
