710 Cap

[Elwood]

The other day I was in the local auto parts store when a lady came in and

asked for a seven ten cap. We all looked at each other and said, "What's a

seven ten cap?"

She said, "You know, it goes on the engine. Mine got lost some how and I

need a new one."

 

"What kind of a car is it on," they asked? Now I'm thinking maybe an old

Datsun Seven Ten, but no, she said it was a Buick.

 

"Okay lady, how big is it?"

 

She made a circle with her hands about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.

 

"What does it do?" we asked.

 

She answered, "I don't know, but its always been there."

 

One of us gave her a note pad and asked her if she could draw a picture of

it; so she made a circle about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and in the center

she wrote 710.

 

The guys behind the counter were looking at it upside down as she wrote

it...and then fell down behind the counter they were laughing so hard.

 

One guy said " I think you want an oil cap."

 

She replied, "Seven Ten cap, oil cap, I don't care what you call it, I just

need one, and I don't see what's so funny about it."

 

Yes, she was a blonde.

 

 

 

NOTE ~ If you read "710" upside down, it spells OIL!!!!

Heck, the bad thing is I know some guys that are that dense about cars.  Sad thing really, hard to find somebody to talk about cars and trucks on the college campus lately.  At least there is always the internet.
