Something my blogless brother Dave passed along to me for my amusement (it's just a joke, not a true story):

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.

[A couple items from an e-mail forwarded to me by blogless brother Roy]

The owner of a golf course in Kentucky was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help. He called her into his office and said, "You graduated from the University of Louisville and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?"

The secretary thought a moment, then replied, "Everything but my earrings."

and

A Kentucky State trooper pulled over a pickup on I-75.

The trooper asked, "Got any ID?"

The driver replied, "'Bout whut?"
