It was just one brain fa-t. them beans you know. But you a right Miss Janie and Ms Grindstaff my old high english teachers would skin me alive over that and the punctuation.

 

gpedens,
Though not Ford related, I had a similar experience, years ago, when I worked at a Holly Farms Fried Chicken place. The chicken is breaded and then placed in these large pressure cookers. Once the lid was closed, there was a threaded thing that when turned secured the lid. This thing had four handles and each were about a foot long. It looked like a big X. Anyhow, I was dating a girl that worked the counter. For some reason, she was in the kitchen when the alarm went off on one of the cookers to tell me that the chicken was done. As I was walking toward the cooker, she walked by and spun the handle (thinking she was helping me out) as she walked back to the front counter. Luckily for me, I had an apron on that was not tied. Hot chicken-cookin' oil sprayed in a 360-degree pattern--sending a 3-4 inch spalt everywhere--including across my apron. I managed to survive because I had not tied my apron and was able to get it off in an instant. Me and the chicken survived (well, the chicken was already dead, but the cooked product survived), but I don't think we went out too many times again.
Later on, I was a Boiler Tech for a few years in the Navy and had many lessons on what happens when heated water under pressure is suddenly exposed to the atmosphere.
