There is a term used in our business, MFD, make fucking do. There isn't a day that goes by that at some point you have to MFD. The key to MFD is to play off what ever it is that your doing as though it was meant to be.
One shift that I was managing, a server came to me to tell me that we had run out of to go boxes and that they had a couple burgers that need to go. I went to the dry storage and found that what the server had told me was the truth, there were no to go boxes. I continued to look and I found a box of bags that were about the size of our burgers and they were lined in wax paper. I thought that maybe this was meant to be our new burger bags and that maybe we were doing away with the burger box. I took them to the kitchen and announced that I found burger bags. We quickly bagged up the to go burgers and sent them on their way. For the next few days these bags came in handy to use as to go burger bags. At some point my boss called me into the office and she asked me who put these bags in the kitchen. I told her that I did and that we were out of burger boxes so I just assumed that these were the replacement for them. She just shook her head and looked at me as though I was retarded. She then explained that these bags were designed to be placed in the boxes in side the ladies room stalls to collect used women's hygiene products. I still was not sure what she was telling me, she then snapped boldly "they are to put used tampons in!" Unfortunately half the box was used before she caught this, but in my defense, these bags kept the burgers in them, warm and moist! That is true MFD.
