Funny things to ask for on the PA system

We always enjoyed asking for things like a "left handed ratchet" or "left handed adjustable crescent wrench." Then they staffed the pit admin with people who actually knew tools, and we just got that "....really?" look every time we tried. :/

I had to stop my dad from sending our freshmen for a left-handed smoke-shifter. He's an old Boy Scout.

The funny part is that I use this to test how well the rookies on my team know their tools.

The sad part is, I think a few are still looking.

Well, today being April Fool's Day, we were expecting to get some pranks at our regional, but I didn't hear any. We'll certainly put some in tomorrow. I think we'll start off with a metric crescent wrench.

On at least two occasions I have borrowed one from Team 60. OK once was to show somebody and prove they do indeed exist. They can be Hard to find though. I'm still looking for one of my own. Just the thing for those pesky odd-size metric bolts

At Sacramento, our team thought that the 89 penalties our alliance received in one match was a joke.

Turns out we were penalized for each of the 89 seconds after our alliance's ball handler didn't return the ball through the trident

We were fouled up! We asked for a metric crescent wrench and the lady knew what that was. We were shut down. The taste of defeat is bitter.
want to ask for anything more, so if anyone else at North Star is reading this this weekend, please try something!

I want to ask for someone to come up and tell them a joke to say. I think that would be pretty funny.

I'm totally bringing a relabeled bottle of liquid smoke to Wisconsin next year.

Someone at the Michigan Event asked a girl out to prom through the main field announcing system.

Which makes me think...

"A date to prom..."
