1963: The man who mistook his hat for a urinal!

Accidents happen. And misjudgments. But this one was particularly unfortunate.

Mistaking his hat for a urinal wasn't so bad -- except that he tried to use it while it was still on his head!

There was trouble -- especially when this happened 400 times in a row (see what looks like water in the background!), but far worse was that he mistook his wife for a hat, vaguely similar to the famous case described by neurologist, Dr. Oliver Sacks.

You don't want to know the details of my case (not Sacks', which is fascinating) on an empty stomach.

Anyhow: I took this photo in 1963, in Germany, when I was still dumber than now.
