When I first started my training, I got caught with the long weight gag. Then a toolmaker sent me to the toolstore for an elastic wheel(a cutoff disc for all you IT guys). I refused to take him seriously and got into really serious shit!

I always liked the story about the guy that goes to the lumber yard for some lengths of 4 x 2. When asked how long do you want them? He replied Oh we want them for a while I am building a chook shed!

Metric shifter was a good one & left-hand spanner, another.
Does anyone ever had the funnel trick done to them?

 

[Tallgum]

Yeah , you couldnt walk for 3 days.

 

[Chucky]

How about a bottle of K9P.

 

[timmy]

yep chucky asked for that and been asked for that in my time in the navy.

I assume the funnel thing is similar to a feed check?

W had a young fella go check the sparkplugs on our Diesel main engines, 20 minutes later we broke him the news. Then we told him to check the spark plugs on our boilers. After the stink he kicked up we showed him where they were and explained to him that a boiler needs something to start the fire.
