johnny dollar, shriner

what de heck is it about fezzes that is so mesmerizing? perhaps it is the lack of brim that tweaks our western sensibilities. the exotic origin with the middle east, ataturk mandating that the turban is no longer appropriate for the modern turkish man. maybe shriners experimented with turbans and found that they are just too damned difficult to tie after three martinis. i must find out. johnny dollar is on the case.
