Computer woes again.......

[Guest guest]

I started having trouble again with my computer so I called Harold (a computer

guy i know), to come over. You know the type; thick glasses, unshaven, pocket

protector full of pens, pencils and Sharpie markers.

Harold clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem but then he gave me a

bill for a minimum service call.

As he was leaving, pocketing my check, I asked him, " So, what was wrong? "

He told me " It was an ID ten T error. "

Now I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless had to ask anyway, " An, ID

ten T error? What's that .. I've never heard of that before.....I'm asking in

case I need to fix it again. "

Harold grinned at me (and i wanted to slug him).... " Haven't you ever heard of

an ID ten T error before? "

I told him no, i had't or i wouldn't be asking.

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

So I wrote out ........ I D 1 0 T

I even used to like Harold.
