The other day I was in the local auto part store. A lady comes in and asks for a seven ten cap. We all look at each other and ask, "What's a seven ten cap?" She says, "You know, it's right on the engine. Mine got lost somehow and I need a new one." "What kind of a car is it?" they ask. Now I'm thinking maybe an old Datsun Seven Ten, but no, she says that it's a Buick. "Okay, Lady, how big is it?" She makes a circle with her hands about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. "What does it do?" we ask. She says, "I don't know, but it's always been there." One of us gives her a note pad and asks her if she can draw a picture of it. So she makes a circle about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and in the center she writes 710. The guys behind the counter are looking at it upside down as she writes it...and they just fall down behind the counter laughing so hard in hysterics. One guy says, "I think you want an oil cap." She says, "Seven Ten cap, oil cap, I don't care what you call it. I just need one, and I don't see what is so damn funny about it." Yes, she was a blonde. If you read "710" upside down, it spells OIL! |

David, that's just wrong. That's as bad as our MIS support guy when I worked at Sanyo. If you screwed up, and didn't know PC's, almost every problem he resolved was logged as an "ID-10T Error". Not many folks ever figured that one out. |

Yeah. Most problems are caused by a weak link between the chair and the keyboard. |
