I have such a runny nose in the winter that I would pay big bucks for the hat in that picture. Someone should create a task where you have to wear that toliet paper hat for one full day and document reactions.

Yeah, tasks have to come from somewhere. And if we insist on letting SS&I make them all up they'll run out of good ideas sooner or later.
