Chuckle of the Day
A woman calls an import parts warehouse and asks for a 28-ounce water pump.
"A what?" says the confused parts guy.
"My husband says he needs a 28-ounce water pump."
"A 28-ounce water pump? What kind of car does it fit?"
"A Datsun."
As the parts guy writes down "Datsun, 28 oz. water pump" the light in his head goes on. "Oh yes ma'am. We've got 28-ounce water pumps.
We have 24-ounce and 26-ounce water pumps too."
"Finally," she says. "You're the first place I've called that knew what I was talking about."
"Yes ma'am. That's because we're a full service parts warehouse. It's our job to have the parts you need, like a 28-ounce water pump," he says, smiling, as he jots down customer pick-up, Datsun 280Z water pump, part number . . .

Nice!
Here's another:
A blond woman came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten. We all looked at each other, and the mechanic asked, “What is a seven-hundred-ten?”
The blond 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 the woman a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like. She drew a circle and the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to another car, which had the hood up and asked, “Is there a 710 on this car?”
The blond pointed and said, "Of course, it’s right there.”

I had a similar story happen to me. I had a work request to fix a computer which had a bad u513 port. I'm thinking that I don't fix U513 ports since I've never heard of them, so this work request had to be a mistake... It finally occured to me that someone must have had sloppy hand writing when they wrote down "USB" and it was translated that way when it was typed on to paper. (The U was the only correct letter, the 5 was the S, and the 13 was a gappy B.) So I replaced their mouse and the problem was fixed.

I've also had other problems where the computer's fine, but the person using it is an idiot. The other tech I worked with knew that an "Id-10-t" error means that the user is an idiot, and you can say it or write it down in front of the user, and 99% of the times they won't catch on.

ohhhhhh . . . . If you didnt post that I wouldnt have gotten it.
that was good for a chuckle.
How 'bout this:
There is a new apprentice working at the shop. One of the mechanics says to him, "go to parts and get me a part, it's a BA-eleven-hundred-N". So the guy goes into the parts department and asks for one. The parts guys kinda look at each other, and one of them goes into the back. He comes back out a minute later with a balloon and says, "here's the BA1100N you wanted!"
