Collapsible Tophat Review

A time-traveling businessman from the late 19th century dropped by my laundry room today.  He thought he had invented a time machine that would bring him into the past by two years, but alas, his invention malfunctioned and landed him well over a century later.

As malfunctioning time machines are a dime a dozen, I declined the option of reviewing it.  Another of his inventions, however, I simply had to review: the Collapsible Tophat.



Pros:
Timelessly stylish. (Well, somewhat timeless.)
Perfect for storing the occasional rabbit (especially collapsible rabbits).
Sensible attire for competing in limbo contests.
For people who already feel freakishly tall, they can collapse it just a hair and feel better about themselves.

Cons:
Makes female wearers resemble Abraham Lincoln.  (shudder)
Prevalence of this article of clothing may allow for a covert invasion by the Coneheads.

Verdict: Given the decrease in manliness in the world over the past decade or two and the rise of the metrosexual, the reemergence of the tophat (especially a tophat which is an engineering marvel) is a necessary counter to the Dark Side of the Force.  Collapsible Tophat, you are hereby approved.
