Whoever gave me that Amphi sign.... Please fess up!!!

[Amphipoda@yahoo.com]

Okay, nobody has fessed up to the anonymous
Amphi parking sign gift giving. As promised
I will spam this Amphi-lovers Board with a slew
of useless tasteless spam trivia nonsense "chit."

"One tradition carried on in the Navy is the use
of the word "chit." It is a carry over from the
days when Hindu traders used slips of paper
called "citthi" for money, so they wouldn't
have to carry heavy bags of gold and silver.
British sailors shortened the word to chit
and applied it to their mess vouchers.
Its most outstanding use in the Navy
today is for drawing pay and a form
used for requesting leave and liberty,
and special requests. But the term is
currently applied to almost any piece
of chit paper from a pass to an official
letter requesting some privilege."

It's only gonna get worse... so will the kind
generous gift giver please confess. It's not
fair to torture the rest of our flock unnecessarily
and ultimately I'll get banned from the Amphi-
lovers board. Please e-mail me off line so I
can thank you properly... and salvage what little
hair I have left. Thank you.
