I live in Scotland. My dads favourite used to be to send us for some tartan paint. we also used to use glass hammer, long stand and a Fallopian tube for blowing air onto the fire…
At Boy Scout Camporees, (large campouts with all the troops in a given district) we used to send new Scouts looking for left-handed smoke shifters or bacon stretchers.
A couple of friends who were in the Navy told me that on their first day of duty onboard their first ship, they were sent to look for the ship’s ignition key.

I worked in a pizza shop where we would send the new hires into the back to find the “dough patch kit” for holes accidentally torn in the pizza dough.
USAF joke: “Go run to the shop and get me a length of flightline…”

Or get chased from one end of the flightline to the other by the SP’s, because they were pissy that day!

That first panel is a t-shirt waiting to happen.
If you look carefully at the volunteer’s chest, I think it already did!
I am in for a T-Shirt, and a bumper sticker if they become available…
