I worked with a guy that talked about sending recruits to get an I.D. Ten T form, or sending others to the flight deck to watch for illegal flight patterns of G.U. Elevens & B.1.R.Ds, but it m pretty sure that dopey bastard spent hours trying to find them. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

We used to send guys after the light bulb recharger for the film projector in school.
and... I used that bulb recharger method of diversion in the shop about a week ago....
Good way to get rid of an idiot for about an hour...
and ...who here hasn't went to the parts house and asked for a radiator or coolant pump for 63 Vw Beetle.??
Hell even the term coolant pump still gives the parts counter person a nice tilt..
Its a daily goal for me....to find another way to make em squirm.. and learn. love it..

Send them out for spark plugs or ignition coil for the next diesel that rolls in. Back in the 90s I had some asshole argue with me that his diesel needed plugs & wires, after that, he got passed around from one shop to the next for the rest of the day. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

That same dopey bastard fancied himself quite the prankster. One day he tried the old tennis ball trick on my GTI. The gloves were off, I wired his parking brake switch to ground the negative side of his coil, he never did figure out why his car stalled when he took the brake off & drove it with the brake partially on until he sold it. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

More fun than that was when he had just finished replacing a set of rod & main bearings on a 635CSI & went to lunch. I ordered another set of main bearings, took one bearing half out & smeared some assembly lube on it & dropped it on the floor under the car, then I went for a long lunch. It was quite amusing to see the boss & him trying to figure out where it came from when I got back. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

Or sending someone to supply for a case of prop wash.
Or a box of pad eyes.
Or sending the newbie to the XO asking if he still had the keys to the aircraft he just flew. (Note to the uninformed: there are no keys.)
And isn't it nice when this thread is just fun stuff instead of slightly veiled comments supporting the orange haired idiot? _________________ Larry in OB

That seemed more of a derogatory remark to me, especially given the usual tendencies of California. Gotta love those new gun laws recently passed.

Remember when grocery stores & convenient stores had ads on the windows displaying the products they had or were on sale, now they are more concerned about displaying the fact that they have the lotto or accept WIC, SNAPS, or EBT. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.
