I can just imagine going to the Store & asking the usually grumpy Store person( looking nonplussed) for one if those.

We used to send the apprentice to the store to get a left handed screwdriver,and if that didn't work a tin of elbow grease.

I got sent for a can of compression powder.We used to send the apprentice to the store to get a left handed screwdriver,and if that didn't work a tin of elbow grease.
Other favourites I've heard of were, a bucket of steam or sparks, spare bubble for a spirit level, the old chestnut, a long wait/weight, and a skyhook.

By the time one grabs a new screw from the box & tries to line up the driver head with the slot it could be knock off time.

........... & you said it with such fearmongering that even if he/she thought it was was fishy didn't dare contradict.We used to send the apprentice to the store to get a left handed screwdriver,and if that didn't work a tin of elbow grease.
The other one I recall was to go to the Lunch Shop & come back with a Pregnant Pause or a Pregnant Tart. Of course old Mr Dutton or Mrs Dutton had heard it all before over the years. I don't recall the response.
Ah the Good old Days!
EDIT.
I do recall though that Mrs Dutton had her hair cut & styled in the same manner of dear Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday in 1953 & she looked a million $. One of the very first I saw & the rest followed like sheep.

A favorite at the workshop my mate did his time, was honey rollover and let us on top. For the nine years he worked there, the message from the smoko bar was always the same 'Tell xyz we're out of honey.'

I was once asked to roll corten r200, 6mm, my 5 inch plate rolls would not move it, my plate wheeling machine did the job
corten pulls like crazy when welded, plus it needs lo hydrogen
pity it costs moonbeams here, i built a round brick house with a slate roof, corten, or weathering steel looks great, my idea for Tornado Ally USA, Round house, coned corten roof, stead of that they rebuild with matchsticks
