Talked to a guy in the staging lanes once with a very nice looking supercharged Mustang.

Me: Nice blower.
Him: What??
Me: Nice blower (now I'm pointing at it)
Him: Oh, that's not a blower, its a supercharger (with a straight face).

I start to laugh, but notice he is serious...so I compose myself, and against my better judgement ask him one more question since I'm just killing time in the lanes.

Me: What size cam you have in that thing, it sounds healthy (I'm just trying to make friendly conversation).
Him: Its a "race cam" with 360 degrees duration.
Me: Wow...(trying not to laugh)...so, how does that work? Do the valves just stay open?
Him: ITS A RACE CAM! Its BIG (with a smile on his face)...my engine builder built it (looking proud as can be).
Me: Wow, isn't that something.

Pretty much everything else I said from that point on was "Wow, isn't that something".
