And you'd think we would learn from things like this...

I had a Brakleen incident. It went like this. Spray, scrub, spray some more, scrub some more. Sound familiar? How about spray some more, except this time the stream of Brakleen ricocheted at the perfect angle to hit my left eye. This was in a detached garage with no water source. So here I go, stumbling into the house with one hand over my eye, the other greased/Brakleen'd up. Needless to say, my eye had a nice reddish tint for a day or so.

Do I wear eye protection when working in the garage? Absolutely not (dummy!). I usually just hold my hand in the way of emminent projectiles...when I have the sense to think something might take flight.
