February 27, 1967: Boeing moves the 727 prototype’s engines to the fuselage after a casual comment that “they shouldn’t hang down and stick out that far” offended chief engineer Kyle Buchwald amid a roomful of laughter. It was also the first recorded retort of “That’s what she said,” making it one of the most historic conversations in American history.

Looks like a hot rod. I’m assuming this is a preliminary concept drawing?

That is funny. You must work in the industry.

Sadly, I'm the first of three generations to NOT work in the industry, but I'm still an aviation geek...

“Boeing 727 Model 265 Twin Engine Engineering Model at Boeing Corporate Archives”

This rare proposal for the Boeing 727, Model 265, would have used the same engines of the Boeing 707s of the time. It’s under-wing engine configuration became the inspiration for the Boeing 737.

yesh... I’m glad they reconsidered, (It’s a pudgy 737 with weird nacelles!)
