Where did you get that hat?
via Mark Pack and @b_wildered on Twitter, on its second (at least) time around but new to me.
A hat has been found up a tree in Bilton.
The wollen head garment, which is red and has a bobble, was discovered on Tuesday by Bilton Lane resident Sharon Bromance, 43.
“I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw it up there”, she said, “I got it down with a stick and put it on a fence post.”
The owner now has until April 10 to reclaim the hat, after which it will be destroyed.”
Anyway, the presenting question:
How would a bobble hat get up a tree?

Theory 1:
There was an occupation to protect the tree, and the hat was left when Swampy was taken away by the cherry-picker.

Theory 2: The Bilton equivalent of Mr Smudd was so fed up with his wife’s unalluring headgear that the snatched it off her head one morning and hurled it with all his might aloft. I’d wager there’s a mightily ‘told’ weighty woman in the Bilton area with a chilly head and the masculine equivalent of a flea in her ear. It was the same with me and my deely-boppers.

We’re quite happy, the missus and me,
And we usually don’t disagree
But her hat with the bobble
Caused a terrible squabble
‘Til I lobbed the thing into a tree.

The cat no longer in the hat left it behind

What species of tree? Perhaps it’s been genetically engineered to produce red woollen bobble hats as fruit.

It’s a very old hat which was left in the tree by a 6 year old when it was 3 feet high.

The Beast of Bilton carried it up there in mistake for a chicken.

But I soon ended that
With me red woolly ‘at;
Now I get forty winks every night.”

“Mr B, I’m afraid that the sight
Of you there in your vest late at night
Makes me wish myself blind
And it’s then that you’ll find
That my bobble-hat’s pulled down so tight.”
