> "SAGWAGN"

This reminds me of an amusing off-topic story.  My brother-in-law is into
old Chevy muscle cars.  (He gets a kick out of my interest in vehicles that
can barely get out of their own way, and have the drag coefficient of a
boxcar. :-)  He has some sort of late '60's station wagon, souped up to the
max: huge blower on the hood, the widest 50-series tires I've ever seen,
custom paint job, you can hear it from a mile down the road when he touches
the gas pedal, you get the idea.

A couple of months ago, he decided to get "Shaggin' Wagon" written onto the
back hatch of the car - you know, as in The Spy Who Shagged Me.  So he took
it to a local body shop that does pinstriping and the sort on classic cars,
dropped it off, and told the foreign-born bodyman what he wanted.

When he picked up the car the next day, he was shocked to discover that his
beautiful classic now says "Saggin' Wagon" on the back.  :-)
