Chip,s tips

!	Who's CH!P?

Chip was born with three names. The first name had seven letters, the next name had six and the last name had seven. Twenty letters in all, many of them were used more than once.

His father had the same twenty letters in his name, in the same order, so when chip was given this name, his dad put the two letters s and r to put after his name, and chip was given a j and an r.

Now backing up to a few years before Chip's Dad's namesake was born, The man who was not yet Chip's Dad married a woman who at the time was not Chip' Mom, but would soon become so.

You with me so far.

The woman, who was not yet Chip's Mom, had several names with several letters. three names; with five, four and five letters, respectively. But then when she was a young woman the church gave her another name with nine letters, giving her four names, twenty two letters in all so far.

So the man who was not yet Chip's Father, with his twenty letters (no initials yet) and the woman who was not yet Chip's Mother, with her twenty two letters decided to form a union. The way that worked was the woman, who was not yet Chip's Mom, traded her five letter name at the end of her four names for his seven letter name at the end of his three names. but he didn't get her five letter name so he still had twenty letters but she now had twenty five letters between her four names.

Here's where it gets tricky: The name with five letters at the beginning of the four names of the woman who was now the wife of the man, who was not yet Chip's Dad, was the same name as the last name with seven letters at the end of the three names, of the now husband of the woman who was not yet chip's mom, and therefore the woman with her twenty five letters making up four names had the same name at the beginning and at the end. Even though the first name had five letters and the last name had seven letters, when you said the name that the letters made in that particular order, the five letter name and the seven letter name sounded the same, and generally when someone says someone's name, they leave out all the middle names and just stick to the names on the ends. So the woman, who was now the wife, but not yet the mom, had a name that was more of a stutter, and the man still had twenty letters.

If you say the name of a letter it often makes a different sound than the letter makes in a name, so the woman, who was the wife of the man who was not yet the father of Chip, decided to just use the first letter of the first name, with five letters in it, and the first letter of the second name with four letters in it, reducing her letter count to eighteen, or nine, if you don't count the other nine, that the church gave her but she didn't really use, but kept around in case she needed more letters. The man who was the husband of the formerly twenty five lettered, now nine lettered, not yet Mom of Chip, still had twenty letters in his three names.

I'm not going to go into the letters that he got when he finished school, cause, while they were nice letters and all, they really are more in the realm of title than name, and we're talking about names aren't we.

So Then the not yet mother of Chip and the not yet Father of Chip soon became the proud Mother and Father of the baby who was not yet the big sister of Chip. After a short time everyone realized they couldn't just call the baby "baby" and "Not yet Big Sister of Chip" was far too cumbersome, and again, that's more of a title than a name, right? So the gave her her own name with seven letters plus they gave her the four letter name that was the second name of the woman, who was not yet Chip's Mom, but was now the mother of the baby, who was not yet Chip's Big Sister, cause after all, she was just using the first letter of the second name and there were three other perfectly good letters. So the Baby who was not yet Chip's Big Sister had three names with eighteen letters in all, but goes by four of the letters in the fist name, even though, every now and then the woman, who is not yet the mother of Chip, throws in the middle name with the four letters that used to be hers own second name.

So then Chip was born, and given the same twenty letters as the man who used to be the not yet Father of Chip, plus the j and the r for distinction. but the baby who used to be the not yet big sister of chip began giving Chip names with various letters and lengths, mostly starting with C and H. Although she did call him many other things starting with all kinds of letters, but I think those may have been titles of some kind too. Hard to say.

So Many years went by and many things changed. The Mother and Father went different ways and the mother gave back the fathers last name with seven letters, and started using the name the church gave her with nine letters. The Big Sister formed a union trading in the last seven letters that she got from the father for seven completely different letters she got from the man who would become the father of the boy that would become the son of the woman who is Chip's Big Sister.

The man who is Chips Father Still has the same twenty letters he started with. He's given parts of the twenty letters to others, but he still keeps them for himself.

As for Chip, He does have other names, but he's really not sure what he did with them, and it's really hard to remember all those letters.
