Yes we caught out a new cadet with this one. We were all in the bar when lecky came in and handed out all the envelopes. Everyone immediately cottoned on to what was happening and starting cursing about the size of the bill etc. The poor lad was completely convinced it was real!
I had the long wait gag backfire on me. We were in port and I explained to a new cadet that I needed a long wait to stop a radio receiver from falling on the deck as I balanced it on the desk for maintenance. I sent him down the engine room and tipped off the second engineer.
A while later I went in the radio room and was faced with a 4 foot lump of metal that weighed a ton, just then the phone rang and the 2nd engineer said "bring it back when you've finished with it Alan" I could hear the engineers in the background laughing
