The pot was just a handy, easily-available shape.
I was joking.
You could always shape it over your head -- this would be particularly effective if you were a pothead.
Shaped thus, it would also double as a convenient and useful hat. That's a good argument for carrying two pieces, so you can boil water without risking alien brain scans.
Those were also jokes. I apologize for their poor quality. I couldn't fit a real joke in my Altoids tin.
Is it Friday yet?
