I thought chads were fish, so I had had to go look it up. "Small pieces of
paper or cardboard produced in punching paper tape or data cards." In the
case of ballots, the little rectangles that fall out when when you punch
that selection. I believe that a "pregnant chad" is one that hasn't been
actually knocked out, but is pooched out by the punch.
What am I thinking of, that sounds like chad, that has to do with fish? Why
did I think that? I am truly losing it, here....
