Go on - admit it. Way back in the beginning of your career, you were sent to fetch a board stretcher. Or spots for the spot welder.
The snipe hunt has provided laughs in every profession that's been around long enough to have an old-timer and a newbie. Computer nerds tell younger geeks to fetch a length of W-LAN cable.
