wee bit wednesday – the blonde mechanic

someone sent this to me…

…and i thought it just funny enough to share, since i’ve been doing more mechanic work lately.

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, the little piece in the middle of the engine, I have lost it and need a new one..” She replied 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.”

So what’s a “710”? (see below)
