What's your favorite memory at the brewery?

On my first day at the homebrew shop, Eric was showing me around and he started to move one of the display coolers around and he forgot there was stuff on top of the cooler. As he pushed the cooler and a big metal stand came down and sliced his neck open.

Eric asks me if he should get stitches. I'm not sure what to do, so I called his wife, Barb. She shows up with 3 kids and a dog. Well, Barb does not like blood. On sight of Eric bleeding profusely from the neck, she immediately passes out. Boom. Down she went. Now, I'm standing there wondering, who do I take care of first?! There are 3 confused kids and a dog standing around. Eric is still bleeding. Barb is passed out.

In the end, we ended up bandaging Eric. Barb was fine. That, my friends, is a hell of a first day.
