Cool Wacky local orders & bizarre airfield procedures.

In light of the infamous vanishing thread and the incident which cause it, who can claim to have the most "bizarre/ludicrous/downright dangerous/I told you that just wasn't going to work" local orders or procedures?
All answers from the sublime to the ridiculous will be received and nominated for the soon to be prestigious "Nobby Awards", which carry the princely award of a chunky kit kat or biscuit boost (providing you can make your way to our crew room to receive it).
I wait in anticipated disbelief at your answers.

If i was to say that at our airfield we have unicyclists performing the runway inspections and pygmis on horseback as SAPHHO all co-ordinated not by SMRE but by smoke signals. Would i qualify for a Boost???

Thumbs down

No. I would ask your mum to wash your mouth out with soap & water for fibbing. Everyone knows that no-one uses pygmies these days.

Our pygmy drives a red golf and lives in the tower most days!!
We could probably fill this forum by ourselves with our procedures!!!!!!!!!!
