During my 15 years at one of the largest Jr High Schools in East Los Angeles (98% Hispanic about 1/3 immigrants, % illegal???) there was a period where one of the Special Ed kids had his own little running joke. He would ask for a bathroom pass at least 3 or 4 times per day and take a different route back to his classroom every time. He would run down one of the halls putting on a panic act and screaming "La Migra is raiding the school." in English and Spanish. Then stand at the end of the hall or head of the stairs to watch the results. After about a semester of this all the illegals were onto him and he stopped, no more fun.

bcheary - That's a CAP, not a "hat." A hat has a brim all around the headpiece.
Language changes and is used differently in different places by different groups.
It now works like this: All "caps" are hats, all "hats" are not caps. Though that style is usually called a "baseball cap" when you are being specific.

When I lived in NYC, I needed to go to the emergency room. Not wanting to sit there for 4 hours, I put on my MAGIC GREEN HAT.
When I went into the E.R., I noticed that 8 or 10 of the people got up and left. I guess they decided that they weren't that sick after all. It cut at least 3 hours off my waiting time.
It also works at Dept. of Motor Vehicles. It saved me 2 hours.
At the Laundromat, three minutes after entering, I had my choice of any machine, most still running.
It might also cut your wait time at the grocery store.
But...don't try it at McDonald's...
Keep that up and you'll be left in the good ole U S of A all by your lonesome.

Funny!!!
True story. A friend of mine and I got some hats similar to that, green pants, and appropriate shirts. We waited, a bit out of sight at the bus stop. He got on as the bus left. Next bus by, I got on. He told me about 30% of the people on the bus got off at the next stop, just blocks away. My turn. I got on the next bus. Same thing, about 1/3 of the people on the bus got off at the next stop.
However, the people that got off from the previous bus, got on the one that I'm now on. Was there a complete look of confusion on everyone's face. Having two of us probably looked pretty much like a real crack down. My friend and I met up down the line at a pre-planned stop, which was conveniently located next to our favorite tavern. What a fun day that was.

I got one them caps too. Bought it at the store in the little rock VA. Don't wear one at any eatery, if you do get food they will have spit in it. Fun to wear other places and see the beaner run!
