dinneR ★ Posted November 22, 2017 Share #3 Posted November 22, 2017 I read a memoir by a guy who was a batboy for the Yankees. First day, he's in the locker room and Don Matingly says "kid, I need a lefthanded bat stretcher. The Red Sox have one in their locker room. Go get it." The Red Sox manager doesn't miss a beat. He says they don't have one. Gives the kid some money and sends him to a local sporting goods store. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted November 22, 2017 Share #6 Posted November 22, 2017 That was common in the military. Private, go get a can of squelch from the locker or go to HQ and deliver this key to the flag pole, they lost theirs.. I never fell for that crap nor inflicted on my newbies but it was common.

12string Posted November 22, 2017 Share #7 Posted November 22, 2017 Ha! Like all those maintenance manuals that tell you you have to rotate your tires every 5000 miles, and people run to Mr. Tire and pay them. Duh - your tires rotate themselves every time you drive! I can't believe people fall for this stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend told me of his time in technical school. The teaching staff got all service on their cars for the cost of parts. One instructor would always ask them to check the muffler bearings every time he came in for an oil change. I guess the guy was a jerk in many other ways. One day the shop instructor put the guy’s car on the lift, drilled a hole in the exhaust pipe at each end of the muffler. He screwed in some grease zirks and pumped in a bunch of grease. He said “that should take care of the muffler bearings”. His car smoked for over a week! You would think the guy would learn a lesson. No. Not sure what triggered the next one, but the instructor wired his horn to the brakes. Every time he hit the brakes, the horn would honk! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
