I'm sorry, but if you're not aware of Freud's landmark book about
Eastern-European headgear, I'm not going to be the one to break the
news.  But please, for your own sake and the sake of everyone around
you, don't try to be a hero: seek psychiatric counseling immediately.

And if anyone out there ever finds a black baklava, don't eat it: it's
probably gone bad.  And whatever you do, don't wear it on your head.  It
will make your hair all sticky.  Take it from someone who's tried.
