  I’d say it is actually Trustees’ Room (Trustees is plural)

  Is ‘truss’ even in the vernacular anymore?

  Most (young) people will be scratching their heads wondering how ‘A-frame’ fits.

  My officemate suggested it was a ‘wooden triangle’.

  Truss is still in use, an ‘A-frame’ is a style of house.

  Truss is too obscure.

  And what the heck is the “Trustee’s room”?

  And the office boy looks about 40 yrs of age.

  I’m 31 and I got truss off the bat. I don’t think it’s that obscure.

  I think “Trustees’ room” is probably referring to a room for meetings of a corporation’s Board of Trustees.

  Same as Ben. I’m 18 and I didn’t have a problem with it.

  Heheh, I’d go with TheGoodReverend’s answer, but I think it sounds better as “Triangle Titty Room”…
