In the Navy for entertainment we'd send the boots all over the ship looking for sound powered phone batteries we'd send them to one shop asking for them, they were out and send them to another shop and so on. Everyone knew what was up except the boot. It could go on for hours.

I recall young apprentices at the British Rail engineering works I was at for a time, being sent to the stores for a long weight.

In the army, it was a tube of squelch for the radio or a box of replacement grid squares.

Same in a joinery shop, sending the apprentice to fetch a left handed hammer or a long stand where they were told 'just wait there'.

If you want to get your eyesight checked for free, without being certified by an ophthalmologist, tell me if you see three boys on a donkey. If you don't see them, you can go to hell on a bicycle.
