He lived in a condo right next to Carnegie Mellon and a 3 minute walk to the CMU Fieldhouse. My father was equipment manager and every day he saw Mr. Rogers come in & swim laps wearing his white swim cap.

Nude swimming in Germany's schwimmbads is a given.
On my first visit to one an attendant handed me a white latex schwimmkap.
"Why?"
"For health reasons and for keeping the hair out of the drains."
I pointed at my genitals.
"What about this hair?"
"Not so much hair."

I've worn some dumb looking things on my head over the years, but this is by far the dorkiest, dumbest looking thing I've ever topped my gourd with.
