He either said "two" (10) "one" (1) "zero" (0) "why are you still here" (because the guy is unfazed)
or he said "ten" (10) "one" (1) "zero" (0) "why are you still here" (because the guy is confused)

I'm guessing the second one occured

Why would you convert to decimal naming conventions when using a binary numbering system? Or do you think numeric values like 42(dec) have inherent names? That's as silly as thinking that the freezing point of water is 0 degrees or, even worse, 32 degrees.

I'm trying to show that the joke only works as a written premise, and falls apart immediately as a spoken premise as was presented initially.
