Georgie

[muggle not]

As we Silver Surfers know, sometimes we have trouble with our computers.
Yesterday, I had a problem, so I called Georgie , the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over.

Georgie 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.'

Georgie 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 Georgie, the little ****head.

lol, when I worked in IT years ago we used a version of this joke for real.
When we worked on a computer problem that turned out to be silly user error, we had a code. Management required us to enter a repair code for every ticket, and HR required us to not embarrass employees.
The ticket had a box entitled ID... in which we wrote 10T.
