Traveller under the influence

We've been talking about the Influences on Traveller,

Here's a question for the Trav historians and pranksters of various
fields among us:

What are the in jokes in Traveller?

In science fiction there is ALWAYS room for private jokes.  The
little bits that the author finds terribly humorous but doesn't
expect anyone else to get.  I've been trying to collect these bits
of humor, partly to further my education of jokes from fields
different from mine, but mostly for fun.

Lessee:  We've learned that Mark Miller's mother's name is Margret.
:-)

Thanks to Rob Dean the TML has had one in joke published in GDW
materials:  The "Admiral Bertil" class Q-ship carrier :-) named
after our own Bertil Jonnell which appeared in _Assignment:
Vigilante_.  Rob once said that if he knew the ship was going to be
published he would have named it after himself!

Bertil Jonnell once told me of the "Bowman Belt" from the GDW
module _Beltstrike_.  Seems there was a Swedish politician named
Bowman.  In an effort to explain away some faltering in the Swedish
economy of the time he said that "We must tighten our belts" (Of
course he probably said it in Swedish :-) but the phrase (and the
economic downturn) came to be known as the "Bowman Belt".  :-)

To this list I will add one of the things I've noticed, the "P.F
Sloan" class escort.  As you may know, P.F. Sloan was a folk
singer/songwriter from the mid-late 60's.  He wrote such songs as
"Secret Agent Man"(Jonny Rivers) and "Eve of Destruction"(Barry
McGuire).

Now, what are the other ships in the class supposed to be named?
Bob Dylan?  John Lennon?  Paul Simon?  Steven Stills?
Hee! Hee! Hee!  |->

But my knowlege is limited, and we have a great store out there.
So what have YOU folks noticed along these lines?  :-)
