While I was in college I worked for a sign shop in Abilene, Texas. We were out of town doing a large wall and were packing up to go home. I set a gallon of lemon yellow on the ground, put on the lid, pressed it down with my foot, and put it in the back of the pickup. When we got back to the shop the bed of the truck was lemon yellow, as well as the bumper and the rear of the truck.

When I had pushed down on the lid there was a sharp rock on the ground and it made a nice hole in the bottom of the can. Now almost 40 years later I still check what is under the can before I step on the lid.

I guess one good thing about the sign business today is that you can't spill vinyl.
