In 1992 I traveled to California to see my  Knight at the time.   My
heavy canvas bag was placed on the Counter by one of the clerks.  He
smiled and jokingly asked me  " What is in this bag?  A suit of armor?
Ha Ha  Ha!"   I unzipped the bag.   The clerk asked " What is that?
", his face was a twisted mask of confusion.  I then answered  " My
suit of armor".  I then re zipped the  canvas bag.
