The saying ‘at the drop of a hat’ was first coined by the well known archaeologist Dr jones and was a reference to the speed he once retrieved his hat from an ancient booby trap as he escaped with a golden idol. |

I think this is the one! Sounds the most plausible.
I have to say, he did have to be rather quick didn't he. |

"I wear hats. I don't often drop them although sometimes the wind blows them off.
They used to drop a hat to start a race. "
Interesting. Now the question is whether the race started when the hat landed or when it was let go. |

Oh dear that's a conundrum for sure. If I was racing I'd set off as soon as the hat was let go. I need all the help I can get and the damn egg keeps rolling off the spoon |

Hahahaha lmao. You are my kind of funny.
I thought the egg and spoon race involved love eggs inside the lady while the gent spooned her and it was a race to see who cums first (or should that be who cums last?). |

"Was just wondering, how fast IS a drop of a hat?!
And who on earth these days is dropping hats? I don't really see anyone wearing them."

*hand raise. I wear hats "
Ok, so have you ever dropped your hat and was there enough time for you to meet anyone when it happened? |

"I wear a hat. It's the work of a millisecond to drop it. It may take longer to reach the floor, though.
"
Bloody heck, if it's that quick then who ARE all these people expecting to meet at the drop of one!!?? |

"I guess time is hat dependent and dropped from where?
From the ISS it'd take a really long time.
I wouldn't be up for meeting that person at the drop of a hat. "
I don't think it'd make it to the ground from the ISS. I think it would just float around.
However, you're local enough to me for me to meet you by the time it hits the ground. |
