Default So Bubba walks into a

car dealer and asked for a seven-hundred-ten. They all looked at each other, and the mechanic asked, "What is a seven-hundred-ten?"

Bubba replied, "You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine. I lost it and need a new one. It had always been there."

The mechanic gave Bubba a piece of paper and a pen and asked him to draw what the piece looked like. Bubba drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. The mechanic then took Bubba over to another car which had the hood up and asked, "Is there a 710 on this car?"

Bubba pointed and said, "Of course, it's right there."

I heard it as a blonde joke.

I was at the dealership today picking up some speedometer gears and listening to the tech guy tell a blonde girl why her oil pressure was fluctuating so much. It seems that the crankshaft was splashing the oil around enough to aerate it and cause the pressure to drop. I'm not sure how many gallons she had in there but he was explaining to her why you may want to look at the dipstick and not dump oil in just "because".
