Subject: RE: BS: Wearing knotted hankies
When I used to work on the roofs (younger days) I'd take my T-shirt off, soak it in cold water & drape it over my head & then tie the short sleeves together in back. It kept my head, neck, ears & back cool & shaded from the sun, no sweat, I could wipe my face cool & it took a while until I need to take it off & do it again. Most of the guys just wore a cap & some bandanas but their ears burnt by he end of he day. Course my body was dusty or dirty or bronzed brown & I only burned once during each summer after that I was (HaHa) golden.
