I'm sure I related this story before, but here it is again.

One weekend I was at a home improvement store and got several of water 
hose quick connects.  I installed them on some of my garden hoses, they 
worked just fine.  And I assumed they were just like my quick connects 
on all my air hoses and tools in the shop.  So I went to disconnect a 
water hose under pressure.

That's a mistake you only make once!

mjb, the soggy.
