When I was a toolmaker ( years ago ) there was a gizmo that you held up to the light to test the ratio of sol. oil to water in the coolant . It had an eye piece like on a micro scope . Me and another bloke smeared the eye piece with engineers blue .  We kept sorta looking through it without it touching our faces and saying " I cant make it out , what do you think " and stuff like that . Eventually the apprentice said  " FFS give it here ! " put it up to his eye and eventually said " its fine as it is , no problem "  He walked around for the rest of the day with a pantomime black eye .

A medical school one related to me by a mate:

Professor holds up a small flask of urine and preaches 'there's an easy way to tell if someone's diabetic; their urine is sweet'.

So saying he dips a finger in it, quickly withdraws and sticks it in his mouth - 'yes, definitely from a diabetic patient.  Smith (sitting in the front row) - you try one'.

Smith nervously gets up, approaches the lectern and is offered a different pot of pee, hesitantly dips his index finger in, takes it out and puts it in his mouth. Yuk.

Professor had dipped his index finger but licked his middle finger.

Here's one played on a mate of mine when he was a probationary PC in the Met posted to Holborn.

Tottenham Court Road and Gower Street are (well were many years ago) 30mph speed zones with the traffic lights at each junction phased so that you could drive them at exactly 30mph and have all the lights turn green for you.

 

At around 9am on a sunny summer's morning John was told to find a stepladder and a Phillips screwdriver and attend the junction of Tott Ct Rd and Grafton Way because the lights were out of phase; allegedly the post to which the lights were attached had a Phillips screw in the top of it for adjusting the phasing.

Seen some classics on sites over the years, The lads had told the boy that the pull start was knackered on the disc cutter and the only way was to bump start it. The boy was running with the disc on the ground trying to get it to start.

watched the brickes have their new labourer run up and down trying to bump start the stihl cutter.
