Default My nominee for dumass of the week

And the winner is..................ME

Okay, I know better,but I did it anyway. I decided to air off my tank instead of pumping. no problem so far, I get hooked up and turn the air on, getting ready to start unloading and lady there says, you got a leak on top of your tank. I see the rear wash out cap is leaking, so I shut the air off and climb up there, now I KNOW that the first thing I should do is bleed the air off, but do I do it? NO. ...I walk back and hit the cap with a hammer to tighten it. It turns a litttle and then....BOOM it flies off and just barely misses my face (It doesnt have a cable holding it) I get my face covered with 162 degree fat and get my eyes full. I also get to clean up 1000 pounds of grease off the ground. The blisters on my face went away after a couple days and my heart has restarted.. It's really bad when you know better and do it anyway. so go ahead and tell my how stupid I am, I cant argue with you this time..

Could have been a lot worse. Glad it wasn't.

Got to ask though
Have we learned something from this experience?? :lol:

WRONG.

The correct answer is:

Next time, bring an umbrella and goggles.

It's a good thing you weren't hauling some type of toxic or caustic chemicals.

You might not be here right now to joke about it.

Yes, but substitute the business suit and briefcase for dirty sweatpants, a t-shirt with tears in it, and a handful of quarters for the Cherry Master.
