AL has been posting rust and dust from West Texas recently, so today we thought to expand our coverage of the American vehicle vernacular.
Seeing the Polo wagon reminded me of a ditty my father sang to me, decades ago, as we walked across the McGill University campus, where some undergraduates were tossing a football around. HHB would have remembered it from the 1930s, though the reference to a swimming "tank" possibly dates it even further back.
"Football, baseball,
Swimming in the tank
We are the boys with the money in the bank!"
