A reminder to you guys- Turn off the heating source to the w/h, then run a faucet until the water cools off.

Failure to do so will result in the wife person opening a faucet (or flushing the toilet) and jumping out of her shorts when the faucet explodes with a burst of air.
Thanks, FireDude for the reminders.
