I remember him telling me that at one point he pulled over and did it in his shoe, as there was a lot of traffic and he couldn’t do it outside. He lamented that he had ruined a good pair of Florsheims.

Whoever this “culprit” was, I’m sure it was an emergency and that he is filled with shame over it. I hope he is okay now. I recall the motto of The Order of the Garter, an ancient British group of nobles. It’s in Norman French. “Honi soit qui mal y pense.” “Shamed be he who thinks evil”. It’s also on the Royal coat of arms.

My grandpa told me to do it in my hat.
