A young woman drove into the garage where I had a part time job.
She told me this was her first car, and it was time for an oil change.
Wanting only the best for her prized possession, she'd brought her
own filter and oil.
When I crawled under the car, she watched my every move.
After the old oil was drained, she gave me the new filter, saying she had bought
the very best product for her car after overhearing a conversation
between her mother and a neighbor on the subject of oil.
With a confident smile, she handed me two cans of Pure Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Must be the same lass that went into my sons work (a wrecking yard) and asked for a 710 cap??? They couldn't work out what she was on about, till she did a sketch of a circle with 710 drawn in it, turns out she wanted an OIL cap.

I am sure one day that will be called a 710 cap.

Your prediction is off to a good start. That is what I have been calling it for years.
The disturbing thing about it is that everyone understands. :o :roll:

Dark brown with a touch of grey, actually Bob. When I was young it was jet black. Why do you ask? :?

If ever they decide to give the earth an enema, I bet they will stick the tube in Melbourne.
They would get the result out of Canberra.

On the old calculators, when the number is put in and looked at upside down it reads ShELL.O1L
