Last night, I met with one of the Legends of the Internet... My buddy, Red ...not that I knew it: Red and I had been meeting in the evenings for about a month, working on a project together. Plus, I'd been co-workin' with him for over ten years as a Seabee. Little did I know of my nearly daily brush with Southern-fried greatness, with this down-home Cracker!
Red didn't know it either, that' s the funniest part; neither of us knew he was so famous, at all. He's just one of the oldest, bestest friends of the BF 'Beast' and I, honest.
Whilst most certainly, one of the funniest forks I've ever had the fortune to meet- he's always cracking jokes; doing impressions, or striking silly poses just for the fun of it . Frankly, he can't help being a character: for just the way Red talked was always hilarious! Ya think he's kiddin' with you, even when he's not, because of his thick as molasses, Southern Appalachian-American Accent (North Carolina).
Where did this come from? Who decided to talk like this?
Visual/Audio aid to the Southern-East accent;
Look! I'm even postin' in his lazy, drawlin' style- ya'll can't help it!
An' he can't stop it! Almost twenty years, in this California state, and if anything his accent has just gittin' thicker!
It's a bit like 'Larry the Cable Guy' goes back to the backwoods, kinda speak, y'all.
So, anywayZ...
We've been workin' together for about a month, and while driving back from Lowe's™ in his over-sized pick-up, he proceeds to call the latest, most inconsiderate, California driver, cuttin' him off on the road an 'I... D... ten-T'
"What?" La Loca in the passenger seat, logically retorts.
"Write it out!" Red pseudo-angrily responds, and grabbing a pen from the office-sized desk, and satellite-entertainment center, he can carry in the cab of his diesel truck/mobile workshop; he tells me to find some paper and I print;
ID10T
...oh. LOL
Move on , juera; and so I shall.
To counter such a joke, I proceeded to ask Red if he'd heard of the '710-blonde joke?'
He's not only heard of it, he's lived it and accused me of over-hearing his eye-witness account to the Beast, of his true life tale of automotive retail woe on the East Coast.
Could be so.
All search engines say the 710 cap story is based on a true story; a real American Urban Legend
...just didn't think it would be my buddy Red.
710 Cap Joke
The other day I was in the local auto parts store. A lady comes in and asks for a 710 cap. We all looked at each other and said, "What's a 710 cap?"
She said, "You know, it's right on the engine. Mine got lost some how and I need a new one."
What kind of a car is it on," they asked? Now I'm thinking maybe an old Datsun 710, but no, she said it's a Pontiac.
"OK lady, how big is it?"
She makes a circle with her hands about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. â€What does it do?," we asked.
She said, "I don't know, but it's always been there."
We gave her a note pad and asked if she could draw a picture of it. So she makes a circle about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and in the center she writes 710.
The guys behind the counter are looking at it upside down as she writes it...and they just fall down behind the counter laughing so hard in hysterics.
...but he swears it happened it him; and can prove it with dates, times and locations.
He's kinda pissed with me denying, this had anything to do him, right now.
So, can you say an Urban Legend has happened to you, recently?
