Tonic for the spirit!
The Nerd

 

As we Silver Surfers know, sometimes we have trouble with our computers.
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 
You know, I used to like Eric, the little bastard. But not any more.

REFLECTION: Be appreciative and grateful of the superior qualities or knowledge that you have; but never be proud or much less insolent. Speak gently, kindly; Let no harsh tone be heard.
