A few notable quotes:

-- Stanislaw Jerszy Lec (1909- )

-- Beau Brummel (obviously referring to people who wear berets).

My loathings are simple: stupidity, oppression, crime, cruelty, soft music, berets.
-- Vladimir Nabokov

A lot has been said about berets; some of it complimentary, but most of it accurate.
-- Eric Idle

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you wore a beret. But I repeat myself.
-- Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mankind must put an end to berets, or berets will put an end to mankind.
-- John F. Kennedy (1917-1963)

The warning message we sent the BFA was a calculated ambiguity that would be clearly understood.

In regards to:

"Let no ABL member rest until the world is rid of berets! Towels, too!"

Now if you "rid the world of berets and towels too", what will the poor men wear then? Their birthday suit? *grin*
