this is the one mentioned above
this past season at the buckeye regional, i decided that for my senior year i was going to prank one freshman. i went up to him after opening ceremonies and said: "look, i've got about twenty things to get done, and we forgot to bring a left handed screwdriver. i NEED a left handed screwdriver, can you find one for me? just go around to all the other pits and ask for one. thanks!" once i had convinced him that i absolutely had to have one, i went back to our pits to finish up some electronics work. he came back a few times and told me that no one had one, so i asked if he'd asked every team yet, upon which he'd go to ask a few more teams. eventually one of my team mates wondered why i was laughing so hard, and i let our coach in on it. after about 15-30 minutes after i'd initially asked for the mythical item, we explained to him exactly what was going on. needless to say, i want to get that kid a real left handed screwdriver at the end of his senior season
don't worry, i know he's only trying not to laugh when we bring it up
