In the Air Force, a new guy was sometimes sent to get a yard of flight line, or a couple of gallons of prop wash... there were others, but those are the only ones I can remember...During a machine breakdown in the Ford KTP body shop one of our tool makers asked his young supervisor to get him a left handed drill bit. Ford often hired engineers just out of school and made them maintenance supervisors. Kinda like trial by fire. This one was sure the tool maker was pulling his leg so he refused, not wanting to be the butt of the joke. Turns out he was wanting it to drill out a sheared off bolt and of course there really is such a thing as a left hand drill bit. Of course we never let him forget that.![]()
If he had been asked to get a lower shunt valve then he would have been the target of a joke. We always tested out new supervisors on that one.![]()
