The reference is to the famous cot we've had friends and a few clients and who knows else borrow over the years.

It finally died ... T-Bird was the last abuser. When I took it out of it's case the other day when we had a couple of passers-by that night, it was dead beyond repair.

It may have committed suicide in the closet after the T-Bird night?? But it was old and feeble and may have known the end was near ...
