710 fluid, please

Pinky is well taken care of by her husband, Mr Muscle. Besides driving the car from one point to another, she is quite clueless about how to maintain it. Mr Muscle is quite the opposite - a car lover who is on the dot with every maintenance service interval, never misses or is late for any of it; he takes care of all the cars in the household.

One day, Mr Muscle had a last minute call to travel for work. His car was due for service and he had to ask his beloved wife to send the car in to their regular mechanic. Before dashing out of the house, he quickly opened the bonnet of the car, pointed to the engine oil compartment and told Pinky: “Honey, if you do not know what and how to say it, just tell the mechanic you want to change this fluid; he is our regular mechanic, he will know what to do. Please do it by today, honey. I love you!” After a kiss on her cheek, he dashed off to catch his flight.

When Pinky arrived the service centre, all the mechanics were very busy. She could not get any of them to come over to the bonnet. She stared at the engine oil compartment, memorised the word etched on the cap and kept repeating it to herself as she quickly ran to the nearest mechanic:

“I’m Mrs Muscles. Please change the 710 fluid for my car!” The mechanic paused, confused, and finally followed her to the car. He looked under the hood and finally emerged with a smile. “Yes, Maam,” he said. “I will change the 710 fluid.”
