My friend served around 10 years as a ship mechanic.
They had a certain way of testing the clueless “green” recruits. Here's his favorite story:
One new guy approached while he was chilling:
– "Mate, where do I collect these measurements?”
– "Left of the senior mechanic’s quarters"
– "… sorry, where’s that?" – the new guy shook his head.
– “Oh. Near where the artelka is” – Russian slang for ship storage place.
– “... Where’s the artelka?” – the guy sighs, defeated.
– “Goddamit. It’s right next to where the emergency brake is. Go bother someone else"
The fella runs around the ship, asks everyone where the emergency brake is. They’re all assholes about it.
His superior overhears and gives the kid an ass-whooping.
Didn’t even stop for a second to think that there’s no gorram emergency brake ON A SHIP.
I love this little story. I see this kind of stuff like this in my line of work.
Someone says something and then folks run around repeating it verbatim.
Case in point:
Question of “compliance”. Now everyone screams how whatever crypto they have is gonna be “compliant”. Someone smart said it once, so it’s a thing now.
I should also use ridiculous words as counter-marketing, for funsies.
But you guys are too smart for that to ever work… right?
