Two heads are better than one?
I saw a little man walking to work today, heading into one of the large factories on my way to work. There's nothing unusual or special about this except that he was carrying two hard hats.
Firstly, why do you need to take your hard hats home with you from work? Is it a domestic violence matter? Is your house dodgy and falling apart? Do you live on a construction site?
Secondly, why do you need two? They both looked the same, and I can't imagine you would try to wear them both at once. Is it in case one of them gets dirty and you need to change? Does it matter if your hard hat gets dirty? Surely it still functions?
Perhaps he lends one to his mate - but why doesn't his mate own one? You would be issued one when you started, wouldn't you? Are hard hats a commodity - the more you have the better off you are? Does he have an imaginary friend? A second head a la Zaphod Beeblebrox from Hitchhikers?
Perhaps this is too many questions for a Sunday morning, but this is my seventh day straight at work, so some allowances need to be made.

Maybe he did that thing with his hardhats that I'm always doing with umbrellas - you carry them somewhere, and then you forget them there, and then you realise one day when you are about to leave home in the rain* that all THREE of your umbrellas are at work. So then on your way home you end up carrying two umbrellas home (leaving one at work, in case of sudden rain, because you're sensible like that)... so yeah, just like that, but with hardhats.
Right?
* you'd be amazed how often this happens. What drought?
