Q:
I was noodling around on the google book search today and look what i found.
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 he writes down "Datsun, 280-ounce water pump" the light in his head goes on. "Oh yes ma'am. We've got 28-ounce water pumps. We have 24-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 becuase we're a full-service parts warehouse. It's our job to have the parts youneed, like a 28-ounce water pump," he says smiling, as he jots down: customer pickup,Datsun 280Z water pump, part number...

It was from some book of urban legends, I thought it was pretty good. You guys should check out google book search, pretty cool what you can find on there.
