tech comm. for idiots

Saturday morning, my car broke down on Cass and Seldon. I called my stepfather.

"Steve, my car is broken down" I said, "and I think the problem probably is caused by a disconnect between the alternator and the battery cable".

"Hmm, that could be" said Steve. "Have any idiot lights come on?"

I thought. "Come to think of it, the battery light came on a few days ago".

"Aha," said Steve. "It sounds like the problem is a disconnect between the idiot and the idiot light".
