- 2010, David Fiddimore, Silent War, page 391:
- There was one other thing. If the goolie chits didn't prove all that persuasive, we each had a big .45 in a canvas holster around our waist, and Hudd and his man had Stirlings.
- 2012, Ralph Barker, Down in the Drink:
- "My oath," he said, "here's a man got his goolie chit. And I left mine behind. How fat can you get?"
"I've got mine," said Ward quietly, tapping his pocket.
