If only they could see where all those foods have been before putting them
in the cart.

I used to handle the Beam gun at one cannery. That's a super high pressure
washer. So, strong in fact, I was chosen cuz of my experience as a
fireman and my hefty size. Beam guns run at a pressure jes below
airborne operator. Anyway, we'd do this about once a month. Do what, you
ask? Knock the hanging slime off the food conveyors. Not too big a problem,
seeing as the canning process is designed to kill anything short of mad cow
disease, but it did look kinda gross when it got to Spanish moss length.
