The man in the hat searched high and low for a Corbusier cap. In his search he came across a Buber cap a Breton Dutchman’s cap a Dada newsboy’s cap that looked similar to a Corbusier cap a Dali cap with a plastic moustache stitched into the brim a Surrealist’s cap that was impossibly small and a sou’wester that resembled a Corbusier cap but was clearly an imitation. He wanted a hat with triangular flaps that turn up on either side that could be folded into a pinafore. He asked the haberdasher if he knew where one could buy a Corbusier cap should one be so disposed. He said no, he had never in his life seen a Corbusier cap, but should he come across one he would notify the man in the hat immediately. The man in the hat saw a man on the bus reading a book on Le Corbusier. On the topmost left page was written ‘this book is about Le Corbusier’ which confirmed his suspicion that the book was indeed about monsieur Le Corbusier. However (and this he saw as strange, strange indeed) nowhere on the page was there any reference to the Corbusier cap, a strange omission indeed, so he felt.
