My boss was changing oil in a B Model Mack,and I was on a milk crate balancing the case of oil for him.I'd punch the spout in a can,hand it to him,and after he was done I'd toss the empty over my shoulder and open a new one.It took a total of 24 quarts,so when the case was empty I jumped to the ground with it.Then I went flat on my back,whacked my head on the floor,and kind of grayed out for a minute or two.I had jumped in the 24 quarts of oil that had run right out through the open drain plug.I wasn't doing the job,I had just walked in the door in time to be the box holder so he wouldn't have to jump up and down.
