- In New Jersey, where I grew up, the other side to "DIBS" was "CHIPS," as in
- "No chips on the window!!" which was to be yelled as the baseball approached
- the plate glass on the neighbor's second floor. So expressed, you were not
- liable. Given those I've informed about the wonders of the upcoming NB4, I
- think before it arrives, just for safety, we might all yell "NO CHIPS". Of
- course I hope, and expect???, the ball will bounce harmlessly off the shutters
- and that NBI will be put down as having hit a home run.
