In college I worked a couple summers as a Mechanical Engineer Co-op with a group that reworked jet engines. I would hangout with the Mechanics and talk hunting, fishing, sports, so I got along great with those guys. There was another co-op they couldn’t stand, and they told me to watch this. They asked the co-op to go to another building and get them a bottle of prop wash, they said guys in that bldg will know what we need. When co-op leaves, they call that bldg and tell them to send him somewhere else. Each bldg would repeat and he went all other the place looking, until one guy finally told him.One of my favorites was to send them off on some wild goose chase

We would send them for 10" of vaccum. Guys used to anti-seize the earpiece of the shop phones and then page you to pickup.LOL!!!!
When I sent them on their wild goose chase, they were usually looking for a pipe stretcher
Guys in the office got me. They put a box of ball bearings on my desk and asked me to take the box/bearings to the lab. When I picked the box up it rained ball bearings all over the floor, they’re rolling everywhere. There was no bottom in the box. Dept. Mgr walks out of his office and I thought he would be pissed. He said the old ball bearing box, gets them every time. He turned around and walked back in his office.LOL!!!!
