rambler:



That's what they did in "Small Time Crooks," a Woody Allen film a few years ago. They're on their bellies in the dirt digging a tunnel from their "front," a cookie shop, to where the jewelry is, and Woody Allen turns around to find his young accomplice, Michael Rapaport, is wearing his miner's hat on backwards. Their dialogue:

Woody Allen: What the hell are you doing, you got your hat on backwards!

Michael Rapaport: So!

WA: So? The flashlight goes in the front.

MR: Yeah, but I look cool like this.

WA: Wadda you, a jerk? Wadda ya mean it looks cooler?

MR: It's a lot more stylish than that. (Points at Woody's hat.) Look at that.

WA: You think so?

MR: Yeah, turn it around.

Woody turns his miner's hat around, the flashlight now illuminating where they've already dug.

MR: Yeah, look at that, that's cool.

I think of that scene everytime I see someone with their ballcap on backwards, even without a clip-on LED light.
