Blinker fluid

[BB57]

I know folks who have been looking for this for years. It's now in stock:

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

It can be found next to the sailboat fuel

 

[kamloops67]

Ive sent apprentices for board stretchers before
A buddy of mine sent his labourer to the foreman to ask for slaps

Its fun to play tricks on the young and inexperienced
In time they will pass on the hazing to the next bunch of dummies haha
Yes i had my turn

It was common in the 60-70s when sending a newbb to the auto parts store to tell him to also get things like a thermostat or radiator hose for a Volkswagen or Corvair of that time frame! Also muffler bearing grease.

While in the Air Force I sent a guy out to take the keys out of an F-15 so nobody would steal it.

 

[SAFireman]

Some from my days:

Hose stretcher
Sky hook
Muffler bearings
Calibrate the Knueter Valve

I'm sure there are more.....

Plenty of folks around here who are apparently low on blinker fluid, because they turn and change lanes without signaling. It's especially frustrating when I'm stopped at an intersection and would have been on my way, had they signaled their intention in advance. It's not only illegal and dangerous, it's rude. Most of the time, they're also yackin' on the phone.

It's a good thing my truck doesn't have rocket launchers, because I'd be reloading them constantly!

They don't sell Blinker Fluid here in New Mexico. Apparently even new cars come dry.

a can of grid leak bias (somebody in electronics might understand this)

...having the new guy tighten the crane hook...

...the new guy eventually joins the fraternity...

...and finds out the hooks swivel...and won't tighten...

I lost a perfectly good left handed paint brush once.

I looked all over for the filler cap, but then found the instructions on the back. Turns out there is a light valve. Who would have ever guessed.

 

[tlawler]

I fondly remember my quest for batteries for the sound powered phones

I wised up by the time I got sent to the fireroom for a pound of steam.

 

[Ivan the Butcher]

A carpenter's helper spent the entire morning break going through the lead carpenter's truck, looking for that 50 pound box of toe nails! I was 17, and they would of sent me, but I talked the 18 year old kid into it! My goodness that was such a long time ago!

I mention again: sending a new deckhand for a bucket of propwash....

You have a shortage of it up there as most of the fluid is shipped down here. Service stations sell a lot of it to the left hand lane drivers. Oh wait, they are from Ohio and Michigan!

I think the most used naval lubricant was the "Relative Bearing Grease".

I read a piece by a motorcycle wrench that told about a guy that showed up at his parts counter asking for a "new flint" for the starter on his bike...

Back in the 70's working in the hospital, we would send new hires and/or students to central sterile supply for Fallopian tubes or a hyperventilator.

Y'all are evil! I like it.

Lot of self absorbed idiots here in the 'burbs. I had an opportunity for some fun a while ago. Joker turns left in front of me at a 4 way stop, no blinker. Driving an Audi IIRC. Since I'm going to the same strip mall, I park next to him.

Me: Nice car!

Him: Thanks!

Me: So, decided not to get the turn signal option then?

Him:

Me:
