Harold the Computer Geek...
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?"

Harold 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: I D 1 0 T

I used to like Harold................ Now? Not anymore.

1. My GF did a similar thing with one of those people who sells copier toner
the guys that call offices and try to get people to agree to accept delivery of copier toner, it's some kind of scam thing that's been going on for years.

So a guy calls her office and says he needs the model number of her copier so he can send toner. She tells its an G ET A Reel J Zero B

Get A reel Job

2. Ah yes, the old S T ring
which of course, needs to be said.

Did someone really do this, or are you passing on an old trick?
