Obviously, your error message was written by Jeff Lebowski.

It does serve to remind us that we should be careful how cute or wry we
are in our error messages. I can't resist sometimes and invariably have
to go back and remove any jocularity before it goes live. While it may
be hilarious to the writer, it's a bit frustrating for the end user.

Subject: Error message

I have an HP All-in-one printer/scanner at home.  I don't use it often,
but had a reason to do some scanning last night.  For whatever reason, I
couldn't get the scanner to work (although the printer is just fine).  I
received the error message: "Unable to open xxx file.  Bummer error."

Bummer error?????????  What is that about??????
