That time a new hire tried to cool a mold with a garden hose
We had this kid, Kevin, start at the foundry in Toledo last summer. On his second day, he saw a hot sand mold and ran to grab a garden hose from outside, yelling 'I got this!' before anyone could stop him. The steam explosion wasn't huge, but it covered him and half the floor in wet sand, and he just stood there dripping. Anyone else have a new guy story that makes you laugh now?

Yeah that's a classic. Gotta show new people the steam release valves first thing, saves everyone a mess. Maybe it's just me but that lesson sticks better after they see why it matters.
