Brain power of apprentices
had a young bloke come up to me telling me that one of the tradies had asked to come & get a long weight off me(yes,i know its an oldie but,he bit hook line & sinker) so i says to him righto,stand there & i will be with you soon. 20 mins later hes still standing there & says to me "theres no such thing as a long weight is there?" i tell him yes there is,you got it right now
Almost as good as asking for a left-handed hammer, or a bubble for my spirit level!

get the AC gas from next door, its the one in the yellow bucket, not the blue one.
DONT take the cloth off the top coz it'll escape (and you'll see its heavy coz theres a car battery in it)
Someone needs to follow close by with an empty fire extinguisher, if the bucket splits or gets dropped RUN because the gas is deadly and you'll have no hope of fighting it.
Fun IS easier with an 8
ROFLMAO.. nice!get the AC gas from next door, its the one in the yellow bucket, not the blue one.

Used to work in the parts department of a dealership... we had a new apprentice mechanic, they were told to come pick up some new headlight fluid... We checked the computer, said we were out of stock and told them they could go pick some up from a local Repco store... Once they left we rang the store and told them they were on their way.
They ended up coming back about 45 minutes later with a 300ml Mount Franklin bottle with the label ripped off... ROFLMAO
I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere
Yeap,had a similar thing happen to when i was a young bloke. was working for a spraypainter,one day he comes up to me,gives me $20 & tells me to go down to the local paint supply for a tin of black & white stripped paint for a job he was doing. "no worries" i said............came back about half hour later after a quick one at the local,hand him a tin of black paint & a tin of white paint,gave him his change then said to him " they were to busy to mix it up for you,so they said you can do it yourself"

i somehow think that there are some apprentices that shouldnt go anywhere near a car,thats the point. alot of them are keen as mustard....but as thick as it as well. worked with another apprentice awhile ago,boss tells him to change the oil on this car. simple enough,drain oil,change filter & top up with oil. only problem was the bugger really topped up the oil....till it was pouring out of the oil cap. duhh
what the heck does tafe teach them apart from how to eat their lunch
Lighten up.
Bloke at work I know used to ask apprentices to go see the storeman for a tin of K9P. Was funny until one actually found some and brought it back.
Four commodores and counting.
Gotta love these sort of jokes

one of my mates was tellin me how he got sent to get a VW Beetle radiator cap as a joke (cause old Beetles are air cooled).
joke was on them when he ordered a radiator cap for a new beetle, had to come from europe and was like $250
GRA = REAL HP
the 1st year was sent around the dealership looking for a 12 inch reproduction tool , comes to my section of the workshop and i gave him the answer that, no i only have the metric version .... so off he goes all round the workshop until he asked one of the female mechanics big mistake she had no sense of humour that girl .... poor guy had no idea
go in Luxury
lol weve used air cooled bugs beforeone of my mates was tellin me how he got sent to get a VW Beetle radiator cap as a joke (cause old Beetles are air cooled).
But the last one was funny as
"do you have any radiators in stock for a 1967 Beetle"
guy at repco searches and searches and searches and asks the question (and he was being serious)
"does it have air conditioning or not"
the young bloke looked at us
We replied "what do you reckon, its a 1967 model"
and the repco bloke (who was on speaker phone) said "yeh your right, probably a bit advanced for a 67 model to have AC" and kept looking for the radiator
He made the joke funnier by being sincere about the AC question!!!!
.
I havent read all of these but the best i've heard is to 'go and get a bucket of steam'. lol
i've been fooled with the checkered paint one though, being a baker i tend to be pretty out of it while working, did not realise until the guy im on the phone to says 'uhhh, do you just want black and white paint?'. I fail
a-grade sparky - get me a left handed screw driver....
me 1st year- but we dont have any ratchet screw drivers...
a-grade sparky - hmmm...shit
GRA = REAL HP
car detalier was ask to remove battery from vp commy and place it on charge , he asks to borrow a ratchet and extension bar and socket to do the job , he is lent a standard sidchrome 1/2 ratchet and removes the battery , later on that day he refits the battery and borrows the same tools as before 2 mins later he comes over and asks if i have a ratchet that does up ........ too much tyre shine for that boy ..

Mark, Wheres the power lead for the drill. Dude, Thats an air drill.

Taking a group of Army cadets up to parliment house for a tour was a scream, told them to fix their uniforms because when we arive they will be greated by the "big man himself" there all checking their uniforms, collars, slouch hats, boots, etc. there all really excited and chattering away, they from up infront of parliment house and a fairly over weight officer comes out of the main doors and adresses the cadets, Realising that the "big man himself" was infact a large cadets officer not John Howard. The looks of disapointment was to funny.
If i was asked buy my boss to do this i would return with this. . .had a young bloke come up to me telling me that one of the tradies had asked to come & get a long weight off me(yes,i know its an oldie but,he bit hook line & sinker) so i says to him righto,stand there & i will be with you soon. 20 mins later hes still standing there & says to me "theres no such thing as a long weight is there?" i tell him yes there is,you got it right now
Commonly known as a window sash lead weight, ****ing expensive, so it would be put on the company account
If i was asked for a spirit level bubble i would return with this. . .
But these are cheap so i would return with a box of them payed for by the company account.
If i was asked for a left handed hammer i would pick up a hammer in my left hand and hit him in the face with it and tell him his right handed hammer seems to be universal.
An apprentice is there to learn his selected trade, Not run back and forth while his stupid boss has a laugh at his expense.
Might seem funny to him but not to the apprentice.
Donati..Whoa Green
But the apprentice is learning by doing this stuff. They are learning what pranks to pull on thier apprentice's down the track.
