No chit! My wife is one of 'em...she starts drunk dialing our outta state riding buds with "Wish you were here" calls in the wee hours of the night. One of my buds gets such a big kick outta it, he goads her into calling one of our buds in NC that he KNOWS will give her some chit when he answers. It's always really good entertainment watching her telling him how mean he is at 2:00 am. 
He never made after hours calls again and we still annoy him with the odd one from time to time.

Douglas Barder, a WW2 ace who flew in the Battle of Britain was being interview a number of years ago.
He was explaining about the **** fighter pilots tactics in a dogfight and how they loved to come out of the sun at you.
He said " The Fokker came at you out of the sun and you would have to flip around the sky flying no longer than thirty seconds in a straight line or they would shoot you down, one Fokker hit my spitfire forty times as he dropped out of the sun"
The interviewer said "I must explain to the audience that the Fokker was a type of german fighter aircraft"
To which Barder replied "Yes that is true, except that particular Fokker was a Messerschmidt"
