I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Harold the computer guy,
to come over.

Harold clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. He gave me a
bill for a minimum service call.

As he was walking away, I called after him, "So, what was wrong?"

He replied, "It was an ID ten T error."

I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, "An, ID ten T
error? What's that, in case I need to fix it again?"

The computer guy grinned.... "Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error
before?"

"No," I replied.

"Write it down," he said, "and I think you'll figure it out."

So I wrote out . I D 1 0 T

I used to like Harold.
