# Not Sure ![[system/images/not-sure.jpg]] In #Idiocracy, when Joe Bowers can't recall his details, the IPPA computer misinterprets his answers, confirming "Not" as his first name and "Sure" as his last, resulting in his tattoo reading "NOT SURE," despite his protests that his name is Joe. The dialogue highlights the absurdity of the overly simplified, yet rigid, identification system in the future, where human input is automated and misinterpreted, as seen in this exchange. - **IPPA Computer**: Welcome to the Identity Processsing Program of Uhmerica! Please insert your forearm into the forearm receptacle! - \[_Joe inserts his arm_\] - **IPPA Computer**: Thank you! Please speak your name as it appears on your current federal identity card, document G24L8! - **Pvt. Joe Bowers**: I'm not sure if... - **IPPA Computer**: You have entered the name "Not Sure."
