While it was officially called by Buick the "Fireball V8"[1] it became known as the "Nailhead" by enthusiasts for the unusual vertical alignment of its small-sized valves, features that were the result of putting both intake and exhaust valves on the intake manifold side of the "pent-roof combustion chamber" used in this engine series.

The following year she gave birth again. The same nurse said, "You really are amazing. What's the secret?" He again said, "You've got to keep the old motor running."
The same thing happened the next year. The nurse said, "You must be quite a man." He responded, "You've got to keep that old motor running."
The nurse then said, "Well, you had better change the oil, this one's black!"

The corporal at the Motor Pool received a call one day demanding the delivery of a Jeep.
"Sorry, man", said the Corporal, "the last Jeep went out yesterday to Sgt. Fat-Ass McGinty."The voice on the phone said, "Do you know who this is?"
"No, man," said the Corporal.
"This is Sgt. McGinty!"
After a moment, the Corporal asked, "Well, do you know who *this* is?"
McGinty replied, "No, I don't."
Said the Corporal before hanging up, "Then bye-bye, Fat-Ass!"
I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, He
said I was doing fairly well for my age.
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think >I'll live to be 80?'
He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?'
'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'
Then He asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?'
'I said, 'Not much... My former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!'
'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'
'No, I don't,' I said.
He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive motor-cycles, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'
'No,' I said...
He looked at me and said,.. 'Then, why do you even give a shit?'

A vacationing penguin is driving through Arizona...
...and sees that the car's oil-pressure light is on.He gets out to look and sees oil dripping out of the motor. He drives to the nearest town and stops at the first gas station.After dropping the car off, the penguin goes for a walk around town. He sees an ice cream shop, and being a penguin in Arizona, decides that something cold would really hit the spot. He gets a big dish of vanilla ice cream and sits down to eat. Having no hands, he makes a real mess trying to eat with his little flippers. After finishing his ice cream, he goes back to the gas station and asks the mechanic if he's found the problem.
The mechanic looks up from the engine and says, "It looks like you've blown a seal."
"No, no," the penguin replies, wiping his mouth, "it's just ice cream."
If you want to be a General Motors engineer, your memory needs to be perfect.
You have to recall everything.
Have you heard about the new French tank? It had fourteen motors.
13 go in reverse.The last one goes forward, in case the enemy attacks from behind.
