Weld threaded pipe fitting to a vert steel beam in the shop. Screw a ball valve into the end of welded fitting. Screw pipe nipple and 90deg elbow into ball valve. Turn the elbow so that it's pointing up. Open ball valve and fill with water. Turn the elbow down. Do this to a couple of beams. Go tell the new guy that he has to go around a check the beams for moisture content. And he has to measure how much is in each beam. Then give the report to the general foreman, who is on the joke.

Some days I sure miss working in the shop jokes for days.
Newbie, go to the basement and get some more carbide inserts from storage. Stairs is in the president's office, in his closet is a trap door to the basement. He likes to control the inventory but dont worry anyone can just go in there.

One foreman had a bicycle air pump painted bright yellow, with the words "SUNSHINE PUMP" on it. Sitting on a shelf in his office. Said it was for us asssholes who tried to blow sunshine up his asss when trying to explain our way out of trouble.

Should probably take that pump to the shop that tried to tell him the calipers aren't rebuildable sound like they are trying to blow some smoke up somewhere.

My first job out of college was working on Robbins Air Force Base. One day one of the Air Force One's was parked out in the field. I got all excited about it and my coworkers were encouraging me to go check it out, said they do it all the time when it is there. I started to walk out there and they stopped me.. Told me they used to tell newbies to do that and watch secret service plant them into the concrete as they got close. But eventually they got in trouble so now they just set us up and stop us before we actually go.
