LOL Toad,
Funny you should mention the tinfoil hat...
I was a police officer for 7 years, and we used to get calls on a constant basis from this mentally disturbed woman. She would come up with all kinds of crazy stuff like bombs in her phone lines, and aliens stealing her brain waves.
I suggested the tinfoil hat and she said she didn't want to do that because she'd look funny. So I told her to line the inside of a hat with the foil, and no one would be the wiser. She wears the hat to this day, and VIOLA! No more phone calls to the police.
I guess it really works!!!!! LOL
