Jason B:
I think everyone who has turned on a scuba tank knows that it doesn't take 29.999 turns to turn it on.

I also think that anyone who has turned on a scuba tank knows that it does in fact take several full turns to turn it on (that was his point with the 29.9999 turns statement).

So, from that I think it should be simple to see that he was merely suggesting that a tank valve takes several full turns to shut off and that a minor brush on a piece of coral will not turn off a fully opened valve. Simple as that.

Unless of course u gotta itch right???
 
I'd be really impressed to see someone swim upside down and backwards while maintaining downward pressure between the coral and the flat side of the tank valve handle.

J Valve?

Either that or look for 1" wide x 49 linear inches of steam-rollered coral.

It coulda' happened.

Coulda'.

Rats, Jason. When you have to explain a joke, it kind of ruins it.

As I said, though, it is really 29.998765 turns. :doctor:

But, okay, you can stay after and clean the erasers. :smileysto

I got some beers in the fridge :cheers:
