James, you have such a way with communication!

My grandfather would have appreciated you. He taught some sort of auto mechanics class in a college, maybe 75 years ago. People kept standing in harm’s way, when he was starting an engine on a test stand. Finally, he began saying, “Now, when we start the engine, make sure and stand right in front of it, so that, if the fan comes off, it will go right through you!”
They got the message.
