Non-database people might not get this

But Spinal Tap fans should

Someone was having issues with his database query not getting the results he was expecting. It turns out he set a variable to VARCHAR(10), but it turned out the data in the table was 11 characters long.

I just looked at him and said, "That's why my variables go to 11."

Exactly. He's also a Spinal Tap fan, so he got the message.
