When I was in the Navy on a submarine we sent a new guy on what we thought was a
wild goose chase to get some relative bearing grease. A couple of hours later
he comes back saying "We don't have any on board, but I've got the stock
number." Disbelieving we followed him to the supply microfiche machine where an
entry titled 'Grease, relative bearing, Mark V Fire Director' was displayed. It
spoiled all of our fun, send somebody for something that didn't exist and he
finds it!
