Have them ask an engineer for an MK (Machinery Technician) punch
My favorite was to have a new guy get all wrapped up in tin foil, send him up on the ships fo'c'sle and have him turn slowly while the bridge crew "calibrated the radar". This was usually done when several ships were moored at the same pier so everyone could enjoy the show.
We used to send them to the tool room for the left handed screw driver and the 25 feet of flight line as mentioned was a good old go to. Also told them the shop was in the basement of the hangar and watched them try to find the door to the non existent basement.
