Rally Caps

My husband has many qualities enviable by any wife: He vacuums with no provocation from me, is fully capable of starting dinner if he has a recipe, eats anything I cook calling it gourmet, and is knowledgeable about doing laundry and ironing. He also has qualities that men could envy: He is handy with most any project indoors or out (and he has the tools to prove it), knows more about technical and mechanical things than most, and has an uncanny aptitude for online research which fills in any gaps. Then there are things you'd expect him to know "because he's a guy" of which he has no knowledge nor has he any apologies or embarrassment at his ignorance.

A few nights ago we were watching TV, and the new commercial for GM came on. While we were only halfway paying attention to the commercial, I got the general message: GM may be down and out, but they're trying really hard to make a comeback--see, they've got their "rally caps" on, so they're serious. I'm assuming most men at least know what rally caps are and what they mean in the context of a sports comeback.

Well, Mr. Morgan, as stated in paragraph one, is not like most men. As the commercial neared the end, he commented with a slightly perplexed tone, "That guy's hat is on inside out."

So, I said, "Yeah, that's the point of the commercial: Everybody's hat has been inside out. It's a rally cap."

"What's a rally cap?...Is that some sports thing that I don't get?"
