That's a sticky wicked... ;-))) See a couple of suggestions below. Explanation: Hey Sofia, did you you consider these possibilities? 1) The Deuce is the name of the double-decker bus line serving Las Vegas, Nevada operated by Citizens Area Transit. 2) The deuce could also be a two-dollar bill in Canada... So my first guess was something like George Washington on a 100-dollar bill, but then I realized that it'd be different in Canada (because of Her Majesty, of course ;-) I'll keep thinking though... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2007-06-26 15:53:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Check this out too, though I suspect you've already done so: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuce Turns out "deuce" can be almost anything, you name it. So just pick the one that fits your context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2007-06-26 15:55:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It could be a MOTORCYCLE or a CAR... as I said, you name it. |
