In Hungary, people might be sent to fetch a "bend-drill", a "circular tri-square", a "glass-flattener mallet", some "compression", or "filing grease", among other things. [ citation needed]

A "Fools Errand" is the practical joke of sending a person to fetch some non-existent but plausible sounding item. The joke is usually played at work on a new employee or apprentice and its effectiveness depends on the naivete of the victim. Here are some of the more common Fools Errands. There are hundreds of such errands; many are specific to particular occupations. Many of the objects are non-existent items. Others really do exist, but not in the context of the occupation where they are set as a fool's errand e.g. fallopian tubing makes sense to a doctor, but not to a plumber. Many errands rely on an apprentice being overwhelmed by technical jargon; as long as the errand or object sounds plausible, he assumes it to be yet more jargon. LRPC is the original term I heard for what is now called chad. Difference seems to be that LRPCs came from hole punches and chad came from punched paper tape. The use of either was as follows: Josefowitz, Natasha (1988). Fitting In: How to Get a Good Start in Your New Job (illustrateded.). Addison-Wesley. p. 32. ISBN 0201116537. You can make an extraordinary effective stink bomb by freezing a clove of garlic in liquid nitrogen. Toss it into the place where the effect is to be, and it will shatter to fine powder. When it warns up, all the garlic oil gets released at once.So this tune actually uses 3 hand positions (all of which you can see in the A part). I won't give describe them as thoroughly as before, since you likely get the point by now: The drill bits are not an essential part of a left-handed tool kit, so you can skip out on them when building your collection. Long weight (storesman goes away for a while to "look" on his return he says "was that long enough?") The comfort makes it a lot easier for someone to make accurate cuts with the blade. You do not need to take extra time to adjust your grip and can reduce delays while you work. Leftie revolvers are a thing. You have the Charter Arms Southpaw that finally gives left-handed folk some joy in using revolvers with right-side swinging cylinders.

A fool's errand prank is a type of practical joke where a newcomer to a group, typically in a workplace context, is given an impossible or nonsensical task by older or more experienced members of the group. More generally, a fool's errand is a task almost certain to fail. [1] A common fool's errand is to send someone to get " blinker fluid" [8] [9] or "turn-signal fluid" from an automotive parts store. Theatrical Electricians would send the new guy to clean old color gels. Being mounted in fixtures for many performances, they accumulate dust. Old color filters were made using gelatin, and because the high heat of the lights have turned them too brittle to handle, they shatter when touched.In spite of all this - the left hand is pretty much ignored in most clawhammer banjo teaching material. I'll admit that I haven't done an exhaustive search on this, but in my experience the author of a tab rarely indicates which finger to use when fretting a note, and I've talked with many new players that find this to be a bit of an oversight. When left to fend for themselves, many people simply gravitate towards using the index and middle ( i.e.the "strong" fingers)for as much left hand fretting as possible, occasionally employing their ring finger, and virtually never using their pinky. While you can go far with this technique in Old Time music, these players end up moving their left hand way more than necessary (which can impose a speed limit to one's playing), and havingto use slides rather than choosingto use slides in many places. It is important to note that the Left-Handed Claw Hammer is specifically designed for left-handed users. Attempting to use this hammer with your right hand could result in serious injury. The grip and claw are positioned for optimal use by left-handed individuals, and using it with your right hand could cause the hammer to slip or twist in your hand, leading to potential accidents. Always use tools as intended and follow proper safety protocols to avoid injury. If you are right-handed, we recommend using a hammer designed for right-handed use to ensure your safety and the safety of those around you.

However, the 2-inch barrel might not be something most people would look for, especially when accuracy is in question. With that out of the way, let’s get down to business – rifle and handgun business, that is. Best Rifles for Left-Handed Shooters There is one other CRF option besides Ruger's Scout rifle and their tiny selection of left handed Hawkeyes. Zastava is finally, finally, beginning to import their Mauser 98's in quantity, including a left handed model. I'm eyeing the 9.3x62mm. This is likely something which developed incidentally because it’s the grain direction, rather than ourselves, which dictates so much of how we work. A woodworker who’s been at it a good while will be able to do most tasks with their ‘wrong’ hand for the odd occasion. I remember my Dad making me hammer for days with my left hand, as one day, he said, it will be needed. Confined spaces create such issues, and also when planing something very wide with stubborn grain, you can have little choice than to switch hand. It’s certainly a good problem solving skill to get used to putting a tool in the ‘wrong’ one. Watts, Linda S. (2007). Encyclopedia of American folklore. New York: Facts On File. p. 206.

The errand is an example of a hazing ritual, through which a newcomer gains acceptance into a group. It’s not just ambidextrous control consideration but also the prospect of ergonomics, concealed carry viability, aftermarket parts, and overall shootability to keep in mind. Ergonomics New car salespeople are often sent to different dealerships around town to get the "lot stretcher". After reaching the new dealership, the manager informs the victim that it has been moved to another dealership across town, and the prank continues. [7] Also among vehicle-related errands are obtaining "high-speed air" (for tires), likewise "aerodynamic lugnuts". In any event, as a 50+ year shooter of Remington's* fully Left-Handed long arms (Model 700BDL .30-06; and Model 870 12ga. mag.) [both "toss left"], I feel pretty strongly that the biggest distinction between a firearm qualifying as "Ambi" or "Left-Handed" is whether it "tosses left" or "tosses right", so any firearm that ejects empties to the right can't be called "Left-Handed" & is, at best, "Ambi".

Those who do opt to go left handed with their bench tend to be new to woodworking, and I’ve found for the dozens of other left handed customers a standard set up was chosen because it’s what they had to become used to previously. MIL-TFD-1111 (mythical military/engineering standard: "Make It Like - The F**king Drawing" - For Once) In the pizza-making business, newcomers are told to look in the fridge for the "dough repair kit".

Time up 0600. Time Down 0620. 6 inches." (e.m.h.o is early morning hard on [erection])One of the more uncomfortable right-handed tools to use is a pair of scissors. When the blades do not face the correct direction, you either end up cramming fingers into a thumb hole or using the scissors upside down. A pair of lefthanded industrial scissors give you accurate cuts and complete comfort for the left hand. Stein, Jesse Adams (2016). Hot Metal: Material Culture and Tangible Labour.

Basin Trials (get Junior sailor watching the basins in the bathrooms for any leaks prior to sailing) The same problem found with utility knives is also found through tape measures. When a left-handed person uses a tape measure naturally, all of the numbers will appear upside down. You may take longer to get proper measurements or be forced to use the right hand as a dominant hand.
