And finally, there is the Black Cat bonnet ornament (although I didn't • get
the joke until my husband explained it). Do you guys get the joke?

Unless the joke is that it's a Black Cat, I guess I don't -- please tell!

My husband says it's a take-off of Mack Trucks (which make big rigs) and who
use a little model bulldog as a bonnet/hood emblem.

Presumably Lego thought of putting on a bulldog but couldn't for trademark
reasons, so they put on a cat instead.
