I wasn't aware Dunce's wore caps, learned another thing there 
In all honesty it was quite a foollish thing to mess with, especially given hindsight.
Thanks again for the swift reply! I woudn't have figured out this solution on my own.
Man you gotta watch more old time cartoons~! Then again, I am probably older than most on these forums. I missed it, my self, but there was a time not so long ago when public humiliation in the classroom had teachers doing things like making a kid sit in the corner with a piece of paper stapled or taped together into a tall cone with the word "Dunce" on it. It was to serve as an "object lesson" to the pupil (and hopefully the rest of the class) to pay attention in class, study and do your homework.
Not one of the more enlightened ideas in educational discipline. It's referenced in old cartoons as a way to indicate when someone does something dumb or dunce-like. (You'd see a little thought bubble of the character finding out they've goofed up badly, wearing a dunce cap.)
Just a little trivial note for next time. And don't feel bad. Everybody has those moments. It's nice to know we can all come here and shamlessly get assistance instead of being put in the corner and be humiliated instead.
best regards,
