I have a metcard (and two books, but having books signed by Terry
Pratchett degrades their value somewhat) signed by Terry Pratchett. Can
_you_ say the same? (A metcard is a credit-card sized PT ticket that goes
into machines and bes validated. It's technically a registered trademark
of Metcard, but Melburnians use it for any similar device, regardless of
whether they're meant for the Melbourne PT system.)
(The metcard was signed because the rumours are that Terry Pratchett will
sign anything that doesn't move for long enough to be signed.)
