Speaking of snipe hunts

We use to have guys go ask for the engine room for the red and green running light oil.

I imagine any old Boy Scouts would remember sending the new kids on their first camp out to all the other troops, looking to borrow a left handed bacon stretcher.

Later in the real working world, we used to send new guys to the storeroom to get a sky hook for lifting various objects.

Big one in the Marines was sending the new guy for a yard of flight line.
