A man should have it ...

I met a German friend of mine and his pretty Russian wife the other day. 
He was wearing a cool hat and I told him that I thought that his hat was cool and I liked it. He told me that he imported them from Germany and he asked me to try it on.
He then told me I looked good in the hat and that I should keep it. 
He went on to say that if a man likes something he should have it. 
I told him that I liked his wife.  He then took his hat back.
