OT: The Dumbest Blonde Ever

[Dhakala]

A few days ago I was at the auto parts store when a blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten. No one had any clue what the part was -- even the manager.

"Come on!" she said, exasperated. "Every car I've ever had has one! But mine fell off, and I need a new one."

Finally, I stepped in. "Would it help to look under my hood, and you can point out what it is you want?" I asked.

"Yes!" she exclaimed, and I led the blonde to my car with a parade of parts guys right behind.

I opened the hood. "Is there a 710 on this car?" I asked. She pointed and said, "Of course, it's right there!"

And here's what we saw:

Nope...didn't see it coming the last 15 times it was posted here either.

Must be a good joke.. because it keeps on getting me.

Maybe you're just, you know, a bit dense?

Errrr.... you wouldn't happen to be blonde, would you?

The funny thing is that someone, at some time, looked at that cap and said, "Now why does that say '710'?

I got a .wav a while back that was how do you recognize a blonde gazelle?

It was hilarious.

Sorry, hit the send button too soon. Did anyone else see it? I can try to send it to you if you would like.

Back in the day when electronic calculators were new, it was common to enter 710 77345 and turn the calculator over.

Once had a official looking form from the Utah DOT giving a long justification for requiring headlight dimmer switches be moved back to floor mounted. Final paragraph stated that the state accident rate would be significantly reduced because fewer blondes would get their feet caught in the steering wheel.

C'mon, Owie. Get some perspective. Look at things from a skewed eye sometime, whydoncha? When you do, patterns jump out at you. Coworkers become "cow orkers", etc.

Now go in your living room, lay down on your side, and look at the furniture. Describe what you see to your wife. Soon you'll have a new perspective from that nice white coat with the loooong sleeves and straps. ;)

Ayup, and there was a nice calculation which went with it, giving that figure as the total. Lotsa fun.

Gotta tell you a funny story about the OIL cap.

My sister in law was given a little Datsun 210 when she turned 16 in about

1980.

Dad showed her how to check her water and oil, and warned her that it was HER car and HER duty to fill it if it became necessary.

One time she checked her car, and came in and asked where the egg separater was. After her not coming back inside for about half an hour, Dad went to check on her. She was using the tiny egg separator funnel to add a quart of oil through the dipstick opening. She just about had it all in there.

Dad apologized and showed her where the BIG 710 hole for adding oil was.
