Long Wait

When wanting to pranks on Apprentices their co-workers will often send them to another location to fetch them a "Long Wait". The inexperienced Apprentice will actually believe he is getting a tool of some sort, but in the end will just come out looking like one.

It is an unspoken rule that if an apprentice comes to you looking for a Long Wait that you will tell them you'll be right back and leave them sit for at least ten minutes.
Apprentice: "Hi, the boss just sent me here to get them a long wait."
Kindly Stranger: "Sure, mate, just have a seat and I'll get it for you."
*15 minutes later
Kindly Stranger: "Go on kid, back to work you go..."

Wait, what?

Said often after coming to the realization that what someone has just said is either offensive to you, or someone you care about.
Dude 1: Saw you mom last night.

Dude 2: Oh, really? Where at?

Dude 1: On cops, they busted her for prostitution.

Dude 2: Oh, that's nice. Wait, what?
