Revolutionary headgear

Scenes from Cairo remind Walt of Lawrence of Arabia. People charging around, waving swords, mounted on horses and, yes, even camels. Apparently we can't yet ban the term "camel jockey" as politically incorrect.

Here's a fascinating photo, showing one of the demonstrators sporting the latest in revolutionary headgear. Yes, it's bread. Just the thing to wear in the middle of a riot.

Consider the benefits. If someone hits you upside the head with a baton or the broad side of a sword, the baguette acts as a shock absorber. You could shove it in the mouth of someone cheering for the other side. Or if you get hungry, you could eat it yourself. Brilliant.
