Dumb Blonde at a Gas Station Joke

A blonde drives into a gas station and asks for a "710."

All the male employees exchange puzzling looks at each other. Finally, one of them can not stand the embarrassment of not knowing what she is talking about and asks, "Lady, what's a 710?"

The woman answers "Come on, you know...It’s that thingy that’s located around the middle of the engine. I must have lost mine and now I need a new one right away."

"Well, what is this 710 for? What does it do?" another mechanic asks, admittedly embarrassed that he doesn’t know.

"Well guys...I don't know exactly it does, but I do know that it is located in the middle of the engine," the woman replies.

Everyone is completely puzzled, and none of them can understand what she is talking about. They all feel very awkward because they feel that men should know about the workings of a car's engine.

The first mechanic has no other choice than to give her a pen and paper and asks her to draw what it is that she is looking for.

The lady starts drawing a circle about three inches in diameter and then writes "710" in the center of that circle.

When the mechanics look at what she drew it all finally makes sense to them:


More Blonde humor...

Pilots vs Mechanics

This is one that I first heard about 15 years ago. I forgot about it and have seen it surface in different versions since then. The other versions list the Air Force and several different airlines, but the first time I heard it, Northwest Airlines mechanics and pilots were the crews involved. I thought I would resurrect it here:

Here are what some swear are copies of actual maintenance complaints submitted by Northwest Airlines pilots on planes they flew and the replies from the mechanics crews who were responsible for maintaining the airplanes:

Complaint: "Left inside main tire almost needs replacement."
Mechanic’s solution: "Almost replaced left inside main tire."

Complaint: "Test flight OK, except autopilot very rough."
Mechanic’s solution: "Autopilot not installed on this aircraft."

Complaint: "The autopilot doesn't."
Mechanic’s solution: "IT DOES NOW."

Complaint: "Something loose in cockpit."
Mechanic’s solution: "Something tightened in cockpit."

Complaint: "Evidence of hydraulic leak on right main landing gear."
Mechanic’s solution: "Evidence removed."

Complaint: "DME unit volume unbelievably loud."
Mechanic’s solution: "Volume set to more believable level."

Complaint: "Dead bugs on windshield."
Mechanic’s solution: "Live bugs on order."

Complaint: "Autopilot in altitude hold mode produces a 200 fpm descent."
Mechanic’s solution: "Cannot reproduce problem on ground."

Complaint: "IFF inoperative."
Mechanic’s solution: "IFF inoperative in OFF mode."

Complaint: "Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick."
Mechanic’s solution: "That's what they're there for."

Complaint: "Number three engine missing."
Mechanic’s solution: "Engine found on right wing after a short search."
