When we were working at West Edmonton Mall I had my tool trailer parked outside the service door to the amusement park. The mall is huge and the door was about a half a block (inside) from where we were actually working. I had drilled a hole in a clamp inside the trailer. I used a five gallon pail of white paint as a workbench. And yes I did accidentally drill a hole in the lid. But it was only a 1/4 inch hole :)

A while later I sent one of the crew out to the trailer to get the pail of paint. Well, he was a big burley fellow and rather than carry the fiver by the handle like a normal person, he slung it over his shoulder with the lid facing backwards, You guessed it... the world's longest paint spill... all the way through the theme park. You could tell when he stopped to chat with someone... when he had to go around something and so on all through the park.

Janis happened to come in the same entrance just after him and caught up with him just as he reached us. We put the entire crew to work in a mad rush to get it before it dried!
