You know those little pieces of cardboard or paper that you
punch out of computer cards.  You know what they are called.
They`re called chad.  I learned this rather unimportant
fact in college.  For a while, we evaluated teachers using
computer cards for different questions.  There was a teacher
who came in the class to give us the instructions (it could
never be the teacher you were evaluating - they might
influence your opinion) of how to punch the card out.  One
english teacher always read the instructions verbatim from
her instructions, which always referred to those little
pieces of paper as chad.  Makes you just wanna sing, doesn`t it?
I wonder, are they named after Chad Everet or the country?
But as Bill Murray said in "MEATBALLS"

		IT JUST DOESN`T MATTER
