Had a similar trick with a megger where the switch was a rocker type one way was continuity test and the other insulation resistance test.

Told apprentice to hold the leads and pressed IR side boy did he jump then electrician got hold of leads but this time pressed continuity side no reaction from electrician told apprentice until he could take the megger test he would be no good at recieving a belt off the mains.

When he found out the truth he called us all the c***s under the sun for doing it to him.

Another trick we played on him was he came to get his toolbox which was metal and couldn't find it, asked where it was told him to look for it.

He finally found it welded 8 foot of the ground to a steel beam.

send the apprentice to the wholesalers for a 'long weight'
Or send him there for a 'terminal weight'
Or 100 metres of 6249Y 25mm
When cleaning up at the end of a job - send him out to the car wash for a bucket of steam.

I could go on.....cruel though ...ain't it

Used to earn a few bob by telling apps to nip to store for a "silent door bell"
the eyes used to instantly light up and you got the usual no such thing. One fiver bet later back they came with a mountcastle "silent bell"
Having a deaf school on the books can come in usefull.

I got asked to go to wholesalers and pick up a left handed hammer, I was also asked to go and get air ladders, but I was brought up in pub so wasn't gonna fall for anything as lame as that.

But one poor apprentice was put through a christmas tree wrapper you know the one with the mesh. ha ha that was hilarious and they drove home with him tied to back of truck.

We sent a first year apprentice to the stores a few weeks ago to get 10 metres of fallopian tubing and a new bubble for the spirit level. Our store manager has a sense of humour too and gave him a bucket of water with a straw in it, all out of fallopian tubing though.

I feel really guilty now, but we used to send our 'lad' into Oddies for Felatio Cakes, or Cunnilingus Pasties. Cruel, but the best belly laughs we've ever had.

Another of the old ones is the sending them for the infamous 'Sky hooks', or a tin of striped paint.

Dont know about you lot, but its part of the prennies' passage of age, and a great bond is usually formed between yourselves.

not really a joke as such but i had an apprentice with me at a job in lincoln, he was chopping out some metal boxes with a 2-3lb lump hammer, i was been the site idiot and entertaining him, he looked away from what he was doing whilst continuing to stricke his chisel, missed and caught his thumb, looked grose nearly pulled his thumb nuckle off. then his bottom lip starting wobbling he was so close to crying i just couldn help but laugh my little white hairy ar$e off!!
