Surgical tech here! This is one of those 'prank the new guy' jokes you see in the OR. I've seen play out almost verbatim to the OP a couple different times.

Original OP may well be quoting Scrubs, but I'd wager this prank predates Scrubs by a hefty margin too.

"Go get me a jug of elbow grease" kind of shenanigans.

I am quite certain the scrubs writers just talked to a lot of people in the profession and got their stories in the show. That's part of why Scrubs was such a great show.
