Whilst Trying to Figure Out Why the Camry is Eternally Cranky

…I came across this little gem. It made me laugh.

   In the words of my ex-Marine buddy from grad school: “operator error”. I’ve been waiting years to try that out on someone else. 😉

   Perhaps you should have WAITed a couple more…

   I really must have gotten your goat – you didn’t even hop on the “ex-Marine” crack. I always assumed that he picked that one up in the Marines (he was a commo specialist).

   Oh, it’s most definately Jarhead, usually applied to goof-ups by college educated fly boys. Nothing sweeter than a pilot writing up/losing his mind over a non-operable radio/whatever and being able to write as a fix “UHF P-O-W-E-R switch in the O-F-F position, returned to O-N position. Radio ground checks fine.”

   Volume knobs were also common operator failure culprits.

   Not yet. It’s major dad’s car mostly.
   Except when it overheats in inclimate weather.
   Then it’s mostly mine.
