check it out, we got my girlfriend on the old "blinker fluid" trick. she even went to Checkers to get a bottle. She then googled it, and stuffed this in my face.............http://kalecoauto.com/

 

I saw that before, wish I would have come up with that idea.

 

When I was in the Navy we would send new people out to get some relative bearing grease or waterline. Of course one division would keep the trick going and send them on to another. Finally somebody would feel sorry for them and let them in on the joke.

 

In the construction trades it's a board stretcher.....or a bucket of steam.

How many people have been told they need to change their muffler bearings???

 

In the Scouts we had the "Left-Handed Smoke Shifter"

 

Or batteries for the sound powered telephones.

 

in the army the new guy got to go get a box of ground guides or a metric crescent wrench

 

I always liked this too.

Aw, the secret is out you are one of those bicycle guys ain't ya? You would get along great with my old man. He has a mid-life and what comes out of it - BIKES!!!

I work with him, I get so sick of that crap, this is where I come to hide, Thanks buddy, you ruin it for me, now what am I going to do?

 

No I'm not a cyclist, but I am a biker.....

I just thought it really funny reading the scale on that wrench.

Sorry to ruin it for you

 

we'd send 'em looking for a 1/2" bolt stretcher...

 

Working construction I have sent the new guy's after Skyhook's, can of black-n-yellow caution paint, spring boots and the best one was fixing a tarp on a welding hootch I sent the new guy after a eye repair kit and every safety man on the project showed up to help me with the wind damaged tarp!
