I have a Geech comic strip that I found in the newspaper years ago and which I shared with my tech department. It goes like this: Television repairmen is writing up his bill and the owner asks, "What was wrong with it?" The repairman answers, "A misconfiuguration of the power circuit." Owner replies, "What's that?" The repairman responds, "It's what sounds less stupid than saying it was unplugged." So, now whenever I have to go to a classroom and find that the problem is as simple as something not being plugged in, when I leave I tell them that "it was a misconfiguration of the power circuit." They go "Huh!" I smile and I leave.
