The stovepipe hat mocked the yarmulke:
”Poor, little insignificant skullcap. You are always an object of ridicule. Only pious Jews and Rabbis wear you. Look at me! I am proud to be worn by aristocrats the wealthy show me off at elaborate affairs. How inconspicuous you look next to me!”
“Yes, that is true,” the yarmulke room agreed. I cannot deny you receive great honor and are worn at the finest affairs. Remember, dear stovepipe, that you are empty from top to bottom whereas I am filled throughout with head.”
MORAL: Elegance or appearance is not always a sign of intelligence.
