I don't know how or why auto repair ended up with
"rubber nails" - it has
been a very long time since auto bodies were made of wood.
But, the great part about it, is that unlike the bucket of steam, board
stretcher, etc., rubber nails, spotted paint, and metric crescent wrenches
exist. So, once the newbie realizes that it is hazing and states that
it's non-existent, s/he can be further humiliated by being shown to be
wrong.
Left handed pipe wrenches are another fun one. (or a spool of flight
line, a box of grid squares, etc.) I had a 5 gallon bucket behind a telco
rack years ago. It caught water from a roof leak, but I told everyone it
was there to catch dropped packets. :)
BTW, they actually do make plastic nails that are used in pnumatic brad
nailers...

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
