Cut and paste from my LiteSTEP 'Readmefirst.txt'...
"JAFO" is Airforce/Navy derogatory slang for an Observer [co-pilot].
[The movie "Blue Thunder" with Roy Scheider made reference to the term].
I've worked as an Observer[communications] Official at the Australian
Grand Prix for the past 23 years [and the 500 Motorcycle Grands Prix [MotoGP]], WTCC, World Superbikes, not to mention the first Nascar race outside the U.S., Truck racing, etc... hence the name.
BTW, JAFO = Just Another F**king Observer.
[People only ever seem to be aware of the Trackside Flag Marshals, and any
other Trackside Officials go un-noticed.]...

I had a small company that made Aluminium flight cases. I called it "BoXXi Flightcases". It looked good on the letterheads and was easy to remember.

i love Kroong Thep Maha Nakawn - Bangkok, and have many old friends there. But, having been born in Texas, i'm always drawn back to armadillo country by an inexplicable force stronger than gravity. i get to go to Bangkok to play, but alas, never to stay.

It's the sound a silent but deadly fart makes....just kidding....jafa was already taken so I used a little known mongolian throat singer lyric that means 'the one who brings much pleasure to himself'....then I applied another little known aboriginal algorithm based on the mating call of the (also little known) striped wallabee/gopher. This resulted in truly un-spellable mish-mash of letters, that when translated to swahili produced the another un-spellable mish-mash of letters.....I got fed up at that point and ended up misspelling Jeff....I don't know anyone named Jeff so I stuck with peff.

Jafo it seems I owe you an apology, for my earlier typing error. I was really confused by all the amusement this generated. But this certainly explains it.
BTW, JAFO = Just Another F**king Observer.
That would of course translate to
JAFA = Just Another F**king A**. well you get the picture. sooo sorrieee

I guess it would normally be Jafo and when he gets into one of his spelling kicks it would be Jafa

Way back when, around 1994, I was getting an email address at the, then new, Hotmail Corporation. I looked high, I looked low, but for all my looking, I could not find an unnumbered UID. Someone even stole my name! At long last I gave up and started creating names based on my full name, and those were taken too! I finally has to settle on Jobeleca, pronounced Jo-Bel-a-KA, which stands for JOshua BEnjamin LEe CAldwell.
