I have something funny that I would like to share with my fellow Gnomies. I received this in my inbox today from my ex-wife. At first I thought this was based on a true event that had happened to her recently, but as it turns out it was just a story she had passed on to me. Those of you in the IT community will most definitely get a chuckle out this, no doubt about it. Check it out:

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.

Now I am sure that a number of you have already heard this one at least once before. However, for the rest of us, it provided a few minutes of well deserved laughter. :o)
