32 years later I get the joke

It's not quite so impressive a span of years, okay it's more like months, but when I originally read Ben Aaronovitch's Foxglove Summer I didn't get why it was funny that Beverley was lent a leather waistcoat (vest) to cover up her nekkidness. Or why Peter Grant thought she only needed a pair of katanas and they'd be sorted if there was a zombie apocalypse.

Three seasons of The Walking Dead later and I had my Kerching! moment.
Oh... Right!
