What Is A 710 ?
« on: March 17, 2008, 01:15:42 PM »
Alright all you "shade tree" and part time mechanics! Here is a good question for you. Do you know what a 710 is? A few days ago, I was having some work done at my local garage. A blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten. We all looked at each other and another customer asked, "What is a seven-hundred-ten?" She replied, "You know. It is the little piece in the middle of the engine. I have lost it and need a new one." She went on to say that she did not know exactly what it was, but this piece had always been there. The mechanic gave her a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like. She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to another car which had its hood up and asked "Is there a 710 on this car?" She pointed and said, "Of course, its right there." If you're not sure what a 710, click the link below:

It's a pretty old joke, Hope.  Must be recycling time.

When I was in the Navy years ago, people started calling me Ollie and it stuck.  So, I engraved OLLIE on all my tools, so I could retrieve the pilfered ones.

One day I was asked, "Hey Ollie, why did you put 31770 on all your tools?"  Not thinking it was actually a serious question. I told him it was because I stand on my head to fix things.  He didn't get the joke. ::)  And, I decided to leave him in suspense.  Gotta learn to think SOME time your life.

Cheers,
