	Well, here's a good one I did this past summer while I was working
part time for Gallo winery.  Our system, an IBM 3090, is water cooled.  One     weekend we were pulling up and re-routing old cables. The system was shutdown
(thank god!).  I'm trying to trace a cable when I step back and hear a snap.
You got it; I'd stepped on a pvc pipe supplying cooling water.  The geyser it
created was quite a sight, and so was I.  Standing there soaking wet and
wondering if I was going to have a job the next day.  The pipe was fixed and    everything worked out ok, but that will be an experience I'll never forget.
