I stole this:
HELPLINE:"Ford Helpline, how can I help you?"
CUSTOMER:"I got in my car and closed the door, and nothing happened!"
HELPLINE:"Did you put the key in the ignition slot and turn it?"
CUSTOMER:"What's an ignition?"
HELPLINE:"It's a starter motor that draws current from your battery and turns over the engine."
CUSTOMER:"Ignition? Motor? Battery? Engine? How come I have to know all of these technical terms just to use my car?"I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso

I know 10 is 2, that's the point... Only the geekiest of the geeky count:

0001
0010
0011
And of course, those of us who happen to study electrical engineering and have nightmares consisting of 1's, 0's, xor's, and all sorts of logical circuits
