	If you have to ask, there's no hope for you. Let's do this. Why do you think all drains are hooked to a common header? Back to you. Give this a little thought. Where would they drain otherwise?

	Spill prevention! Guess what happens when it all goes where it wants! Complacency by not connecting the drains properly can have serious consequences, so keep going! __________________ Common Sense Dictates

	Well, where would the stuff in those lines piddle out to if there were no common drain manifold, then? Does the facility want oil all over the floor (rhetorical question - NNTR)? __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	How about the EPA and OSHA. __________________ Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty, pristine body but rather to come sliding in sideways, all used up and exclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!"
