I presume that is a play on "pilote ferme", as in "experimental farm",
as well as the obvious meaning "the pilot/driver closes the
door/gate". Is this meaning betrayed by the "le" matching "pilote",
rather than the "la" it should have for "ferme". Or have I missed the
point completely (I don't consider myself a strong french speaker)?
Joyeux Le Quatorze!
