How about the old "left it in the box" joke?

I love a good old classic joke.
For some reason it reminded me of the first female I ever had on a crew, Pam. She tried really hard and wasn't too bad of a help, but the other guys gave her "the business" all the time. Most of the time they chided her for not knowing our local "vocabulary". Having worked at several places I was aware that every place is different and everybody uses different words and procedures. I encouraged her to try and pick up the slang we used as best she could.
Something that was particularly funny was when she first ran the level rod. The instrument man pointed the barrel at the rod, focused it, then hollered "Rock it!"...Pam didn't know what to do so she started a little hip-grinding dance while still holding on to the rod. She was truly "rockin' it"...;-)
