I used to say "Go fetch me a bucket of steam down in engineering, " or "Go see the photomates and get me a box of Halftone dots."

Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhh now i like the bucket of steam deal, that has wide potential!
Working in a kitchen a while back; i accidentally sent someone to the manager in a hurry for a fried salad bar.
Had a guy saving pie tins of shrimp shells to make shrimp salad at the end of the week.
Almost lost a few guys not wanting to go through this locked door (that was never opened, that is how it got started) put on the leaky waders and wade across the basement (place under building i hear, usually found where water tables are lower) grease pit with the old , nasty, broken off mop handle, to stick up the fryer drains overhead and try to get out of the way before all the nasty grease from fryers, broilers drained down. Would have to wait for an hour after everyone else was gone home (or bar) so they wouldn't get burnt by hot grease. They were also to dump the rat traps of dead bodies while down there, and always keep the light on (couldn't see otherwise) to hopefuly scare the rats away while wading across the grease pit. Hose down in this nasty mop closet they were familiar with, was recomended.
We were doin' some palms about a year ago down by a lake, guy named Mike was ground control, playing some with lil dog on leash by water. Enter, gator man(real); wading in the water and checking baited heavy duty line/hooks. Mike plays with dog; kinda not cleaning up now enough.... So, i teld him it was nice , him being nice to the dawg, just came from pound. Prolly wouldn't live long i hear...... Well, cuz he is gator man's. He is a bait dawg Mike! Why do you think he is tied next to water and gator man is here checking hooks? Dawg draws gator, peoples lives are saved, was from pound anyway. Mike starts going off. Gator man comes out, never seemed to pay attention, but had to hear most. Mike is right on him "Hey, dese guys are alwoys bussin mah chops cuz i'm from Joisy, pullin chit on me; is that a bait dawg ......" Never, never, never go up to a 60 year old Florida cracker red enough to check gator lines all day; and tell'em your an odd ball yankee that is being got again and can they help. Couple of daze (and many layers) later we teld him the truth, then he didn't beleive, thought we were covering up.

I knew a guy at a sawshop who spun up a loop with a twists in it and would ask people to straighten it out while they were waiting.

While at Boy Scout summer camp, we used to send the younger scouts up to the camp store to get a "left-handed smoke shifter"... 
Might work for some of you on your rainy, clean-up the shop days.

On my way to the big city I saw signs that said, "clean washrooms ahead", I cleaned 13 washrooms before I got to Toronto.

Anybody remember what a vacuum tube is? We used to tell the new guy to fetch a B-1-R-D or a T-R double E.

This might be tough without pics but I will try to explain a beautte(beeeuute) knot. Take a section of rope and explain you need 2 people to tie it. tell the new guy to hold the end of a loop with 2 hands and take a few steps back holding the other 2 ends of rope. It takes practice but flip your wrists and make 2 small loops, one with each hand. hold the 2 small loops at the front of your waist. now it should look like your helper is holding the end of your..... well you get the picture. now smile and say" ain't that a beeeute!"
