On Tea Cosies

Such strange things, those tea cosies! To clothe one's kitchen utensils in similar fashions as those of garments, such as knit sweaters, hats, mittens, etc. And why would anyone want to warm their tea kettles? I find them hot enough when the water's boiled. People are oft tempted to wear them on their heads. If that is the case, then one can possibly give it to their bald uncle as a toupee alternative. Speaking of cosies, that reminds me of Snatch when Vinny and Sol put a cozy on Benicio Del Toro's head after he is shot by Boris the Blade.

Bad Boy Lincoln: What has he got a tea cozy on his head for?
Sol: [sarcastic] To keep his head warm.
Bad Boy Lincoln: Well, what's the matter with him?
Vinny: He's been shot in the face, Lincoln. I would've thought that was obvious.
