The Hat War, as it was known among the descendants of the Hydra, was bitter and protracted.

Each head had a definite opinion about which hats the other heads should wear. Colour coordination was mentioned. Choice of yarn and needles were debated.

But when the real dilemma came -- the question of which hat the single human form should wear on its head -- then the situation truly came to a head. City blocks were levelled. Ice-cream trucks were demolished. Yarn shops were raided.

A final multi-head peace treaty was declared. There would be no hat.

(It was August, anyhow.)
