Lines: 19 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 Tom O`Connor ihuxw!tommyo
