Funny BOP Story

True story--this happened this very AM. I was getting a fuel oil delivery when the youngish driver noticed my MGB on ramps in my garage and asked my about it. I informed him that I was replacing the heavy four cylinder engine with a light V8 that was originally in Buicks, Oldsmobiles and Pontiacs in the 60's but was used in many British cars such as TVR's, Range Rovers and Morgans,

To this he asked, "as in Morgan Stanley?"

You can't make this stuff up,
