    Ate at a Smokehouse resturant. Went to the bathroom and washed my hands.
    Was lookin for paper towels. THey didn't have any. Seen this thing on the wall. Walked over and looked at in and stuck my hands in it.
    Man please ! It blew them completely dry. I freaked out

    I ain't never been in a costco. And I had never seen them. You got to realize I pretty mych stay out in the country so I've never seen them till yesterday.
    I was lookin for a hand towel dispensor, then a blow dryer that I'm used to.
    Never seen anything like that, so I was causious of it. Looked funny to me.
    I'm like a Dog, if its new I don't just go over and jump on it. I look at it as a outsider and look at it for a minute or two. It might jump off the wall and bite me or something.
    Never seen one used till I took a chance and stuck my hand in it.

    :roflmao: you guys are hilarious.:roflmao: Question though, and a serious one.
    At work we were just told that we can't blow ourselves off with an air gun that uses 100 psi or more. OSHA is afraid that the air will penetrate our skin an into our blood stream causing an air bubble them killing us. How much pressure you think that thing makes? I am not saying it is dangerous, but just curious.

    Its called a air imbolism, and it can be dangerous. No telling how much pressure it takes. Will it get in a cut.
    You can damage yer ears if it gits too close to them.
    And damage yer eyes.

    Years ago while working in the service station on hot summer days on the hot asphalt I used to stick the blow gun into my work shoes to cool my feet. Never got an air bubble in my blood stream (but you say my feet are ugly so maybe that can happen).
    Also, the air coming out of the compressor isn't clean. So ya shouldn't breathe it either.

    read a article a few years back, in Japan teenagers were blowing compressed air up their a** to get a rush or whatever, the dumb ones used compressed air at a gas station and killed themselves:roflmao: at least they removed themselves from the gene pool:roflmao:

    They are saying at work that if you press the nozzle right up to your skin in could still penetrate. Seems true in this case huh? :roflmao::roflmao:
