    Finally located this old photo. A scan from a 1981 Amtrak "Escorted Tours" brochure. Quite an innocent looking picture, until one inspects the ring on the young lady's hand. The resolution of this scan is fuzzy enough where I don't think it will get me in trouble. ;) Dinner in the diner - nothing could be finer!

    Her ring has the "F" bomb engraved in it, which you can clearly read on the brochure photo. Did not think it would be appropriate to post a clear photo.

    And it slipped by the Amtrak copy editors for the brochure. There were a boat load of them printed.

    Some of the younger folks of today don't bother with something like that on a ring, they just have it tattooed on their bodies. I've seen more than once those letters on the fingers.
