When I painted, it was a thing to send new guys out to the van for a can of roller stipple. Good times.

I used to work in a hardware store. One day a guy came in looking for a skyhook.

After we called his boss to confirm the situation (this was well before cell phones), we all had a good laugh. I think the boss was shocked he fell for it.

Shopkeeper should glue a fake label to a can and actually sell it to the kid. Get both the kid and the dad lol

At school in Scotland, one art teacher would send the kids to see the other art teacher to ask if they had any tartan paint left. Alternatively, he would send them to go and ask for a long stand.

Always fun to send the apprentice to the tool crib for a spool of flight line and a gallon of prop wash.
