Back in the early 70's if Goodyear was tire testing at Phoenix International Raceway I often would cut afternoon classes in High School and go watch them test.

The guard at the turn 2 entrance to the pits knew me from sprint car racing at Manzanita and would let me drive into the pits.

One day I was in the men's room using the crapper when someone sat down in the stall next to me (turned out to be AJ). About a minute or 2 into it he uttered "Awe Crap. Have you got any paper in your stall?"

I replied yep, and tore him off a wad.

The whole point of this story is that on that day I literally got to literally shoot the "sheet" with AJ, a high point for a 17 year old kid.
