Chad is not very welcome at weddings.  Have you ever tried to get
chad out of your hair ?

Mind you, that's not as bad as square chad (commonly called shit
-- Square Holes In Tape).  There was one cardpunch in the machine
room where I worked which punched long thin rectangular holes and
had a publically-accessible chad-box.

Once you got that stuff in your hair or on your clothes, you
needed someone else's help to get it out.  The punch had a very
sharp blade and the chad was sharp enough to cut skin.  If you
tried to comb it out of your hair you moved the comb very slowly
to prevent tiny papercuts on your scalp.  As for clothes,
opinions varied: some said that you should shake all you could
out of the clothes ASAP, while others recommended washing the
clothes by themselves and then clearing the chad pulp out of the
washing-machine drain filter.

Simon.
