Guess the Artifact Round 2: The Sombrero

I know we all had fun with the last round with the mailbox. So thus, here is the next edition of Guess the Artifact. I right now have enough to keep this going for a few months, and I'm sure I can find more.

Thanks! I like the idea that someone else has to take it off for you! Although I imagine it WOULD be very hard to take a hat off while playing a guitar.

It belonged to Pancho Villa. It causes the wearer to automatically declare REVOLUCION! And start drinking tequila, shooting at cactus and kangaroo mice.

Is it wrong, when the first thing that to my mind is "Speedy Gonzales", the fastest mouse in all Mexico? I know his sombrero is yellow, but still...

The sombrero, when worn, puts you in an alternate space-time continuum. In this altered reality, known as "island time", you are forced to answer in the affirmative to most questions, even when you know that there is no way in hell you can fulfill the request. You will also run an hour or more late for any appointment you may have, and experience a great thirst for carbonated malt beverages and citrus wedges, while losing all will and ability to do anything at all for 2 hours in the middle of each day.

The only way to rescue the wearer is to start a Dunkin' Donuts iv drip and blast National public radio in their ears. The hat will fly off on its own in search of a new victim.

In the spirit of any fiesta, this sombrero gives the wearer the ability to smash a pinata with perfect accuracy.

The only drawback is that after the pinata's busted open, the wearer starts smashing other things in the vicinity.
