I had a problem yesterday, so I called Eric, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over.
Eric clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. 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.’
Eric 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 down:………………………………………ID10T
I used to like Eric, now I don’t.
