Jokes on your apprentice

[LukeScotty]

noticed that there were a few jokes about apprentice with glass hammers, any got any more? list em, and list your stories too. When I worked i the kitchen we used to send the new ones for chicken lips and salmon legs to all the other resturants in, i've laughed so much and all the places we send em too, play along with the joke, they can be gone for hours (meadowhall thats in sheffield)

ive had my riggers when i was an apprentice painted yellow with yellow spots.

before you try these at work ...... did anyone see the video of the ng bailey apprentices setting each others shoes on fire ? the chief did and fired everyone involved ,then got HSE involved
the days of sticking a piece of conduit through the sleeves of the apprentice is over

my friend sent me a video of a site he on, you know the big nail guns the chippys use, they managed to hold an apprentice up on a stud wall and nail him to it. He was a good 2 foot of the floor

we convinced one lad (bungalow)that in medieval times they used bamboo as conduit with wet string inside cos wire hadnt been invented yet and once a week you would pour water down the top of the bamboo to keep the continuity

Saw one lad holding a bucket underneath a bit of twin and earth dangling from the ceiling. Was there for ages.

Apparently he was waiting for the voltage drop !!!

once had my steel to caps welded to a lump of RSJ, whilst still wearing them. Ouch!

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
