<VV> skin and car<pressure washer

LOL...Mr. Wolf, 
    This story was going to go to the grave with me, buttttt:
    I was POWER (Tim Allen's patented manly "Rah gra---owl" accompaninng the 
word POWER) washing my deck in my bare feet and shorts and I noticed some gunk 
and leaf debris had covered the top of my foot...well, I thought to myself, 
"I'll just strafe it real quick...noway it could really have the time to do 
anything harmful..." Well, no, it didn't have time to do anything TOO harmful, 
just peeled back the skin on the top of the foot is all...ofcourse, I knew it 
would......I just got stupid for a second.... 
   My other powerwashing exploit was trying to remove a bit of road grime or 
tar that was stuck on the front of my 1965 Artesian Turquoise Corvair 
Convertible (still, btw in the garage for the 4th yr..{altogether a different and most 
heartwrenching story})....well, I attacked said stubborn grime after a long 
day of trying to sell 2000 model Chevy's at the dealership I was working at, 
and peeled off a 3" by 2" section of my prized turquoise paint....
    The bug, it turns out, wasn't a bug, it was where a rock had hit the car 
and chipped the paint....   

Just thought I would pass along what should be an obvious safety tip, having 
experienced the results of carelessness with it this week. Don't let the 
water 
stream from a pressure washer - when in the turbo mode - contact any bare 
skin - ouch :-(.
