I'll just relate a story about, uh, a guy I knew. He used various quick
connect air hose fittings in his shop and garage all the time. He saw some
similar fittings for garden hoses one day, and thought they might come in
handy around the yard and in the brewery, back when he actually brewed beer
on a regular basis.
Anyway, one of the first days using the new garden hose fittings, he failed
to realize that unlike the air hose fittings, there was no shut off in the
water hose fittings, and one should NOT disconnect them with pressure in the
line. What a soggy sight that poor schmuck must have been!
