Call to an imported car parts warehouse: "I need a 28-ounce water pump."

"A what?"

"My husband says he needs a 28-ounce water pump."

"A 28-ounce water pump? What kind of car is it for?"

"It's an old Datsun, I think."

As the parts guy writes down "Datsun, 28oz. 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! 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."

The parts guy jots down on his order form: "Customer pick-up: Datsun 280Z water pump."
