Bonsai Rainhat   (+4)  [vote for, against]

A suitably shaped tree or shrub, worn as a rainhat. Evergreens are obviously best year-round, their cone shapes and needles a natural for shedding water, but deciduous types can be used during inclement warm weather.

Alternatively to a simple shallow ceramic flowerpot, a quilted skullcap allows roots to grow down the sides.

At home the headgear should be stored on a mannikin head, of course, in the sun.

Decorate for Christmas.

It would need some careful branch-bending. Evergreens such as pines generally have upward-pointing branches, so that rainwater trickles toward the trunk.

In that case, selectively breed camels to be really tiny and have them roam around your head-mounted bonsai rainforest, drinking all the water.

So who was Pancho Viola, then ? He wore some Brero or other, didn't he ?

... or some sort of deeply disturbing Buddhist protest involving volatile accelerants.
