"A few days ago, I was having some work done at the local Ford Dealership. 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, the little piece in the middle of the engine, I have lost it and need a new one." She said that she did not know what it was but this piece had always been there.
He 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, it's right there!!

A guy at the local autozone told me the same thing once when I had to get a new oil cap.. Except in his version the poor woman went all over town to various auto parts stores looking for a 710 cap... Everyong that was with me just stared at him not knowing to fake a laugh or not.. after about 10 seconds of awkward silence he said "ok ive waisted enough of your time ill see you later"
