----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Imagined conversation with Ernesto.

Me: So Ernesto, why do you engrave everything with a club?

Ernesto: Oh, you mean a flower?

Me: Huh?

Ernesto: Yeah, a flower. See, my bike won La Primavera (Milan-San Remo) and to commemorate the victory I decided to engrave everything with a flower.

Me: So you mean you're calling this club cutout (pointing to a lug) a flower?

Ernesto: Club? CLUB?! You mean you thought that FLOWER was a CLUB all these years?!?! Whatsamattah you, hey!

Me: :::::sigh:::::
