Doesn't "Aldershot" refer to a British army latrine? As in "The riders in the
back
'dickey' seat in the Triumph 2000 roadster reminded him of two privates perched
on an
Aldershot latrine."
Don't know where the heck I remember that from... Do I get extra points for the
Triumph
reference?
On that note, see you Monday guys...
