A man buys a secondhand car. It's an old, run-down Datsun. The man buys the car, but as he's driving home it breaks down. When he lifts the hood, he notices that there's a cog missing.
He calls a mechanic, but he tells the man that Datsun had run out of business years ago, and that he wouldn't be able to find a replacement cog. He suggest the man call Nissan, who bought Datsun, and now operate out of Japan.
"Hello? I'm looking to find a replacement cog for an old Datsun?"
"Ah, yes" says the Nissan worker "we have these cogs, but we only have boxes of 1 thousand, and I'm afraid we can't ship them"
The man, determined to get his car working, flies all the way to Japan, collects his box of 1 thousand cogs, and flies back home.
While on the plane, the pilot comes on the intercom and tells the passengers that there is insufficient fuel to reach the airport.
"If you have any unimportant items, please throw them off the plane to decrease the weight, and we will be able to make it to the airport."
As the passengers unload their things from the plane, the man carries his box of 1 thousand cogs to the plane door, taking one for his car.
Meanwhile, on the ground, 2 farmers are having a conversation, when suddenly cogs start falling from the sky.
"Well look at that" says one farmer to the other, "It's raining Datsun cogs!"
