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 ...

Completely understandable mistake.

And this is why you don't let your wife get your car parts...

Agreed. If one of the people I know with terrible writing wrote down "280z water pump", I'd take a couple beats to be able to decipher it properly.

Am I the only one who's heard of the old Datsun Zs referred to in a joking manner as a "24 oz" by owners? I'd say the woman was fine and the other parts departments she called should have known what she was talking about.

In high school I had a friend who worked at Autozone. A guy came in one day and said. "I need a leaner for my Goolie". After some discussion and a trip to the parking lot, it turns out the gentleman was looking for an armrest for his Pontiac 6000 LE.

It was just a joke. Thus the tag ;)

Apparently they are more common than I thought. My buddy always told the story in the early 90's of a guy looking for a leaner for his Goolie at Autozone.

Guy I worked with said a guy came into the parts store needing wipers for his Pontiac Goolie, and he got asked what color it was.

"Red" the customer said.

"Good," he replied "we're only have them for the red cars."

Customer never batted an eye.

I know, I've heard it before. My comment was simply a reflection of what goes through my mind every time I hear this joke.

I have been told in the past that my overanalytical tendencies have ruined jokes. Sorry :(.
