Behold, below, the Klein Bottle.
It’s described in mathematical topology as a bottle with no distinct inside or outside. Just one side. Strictly speaking, it can only be constructed in four spatial dimensions, but in our three-dimensional world it might be useful for constructing witty remarks for Peter.
It’s also possible to construct a handsome Klein bottle hat, something the gentleman to the right has done. I don’t know about other O&M readers, but I am surely getting one.

Check also the Klein bottle drinking mug. Apparently it’s down to a mere $ 80
