"What year and model?".

clerk similarly aged.  He asked "What year and model?".  I said "1972 chevelle
350".  He responds "front bearings?"

moment when I seriously believed we are doing an Abbott and Costello "who's on
first".  So I tell him " I don't think you understand" - "Engine rod bearings
standard size".  So he looks at me and says. "What's that?".  I look at my son
and then back at the clerk and say "I made a mistake I thought this was an
auto store".  We walked out.
