Weld threaded pipe fitting to a vert steel beam in the shop. Screw a ball valve into the end of welded fitting. Screw pipe nipple and 90deg elbow into ball valve. Turn the elbow so that it's pointing up. Open ball valve and fill with water. Turn the elbow down. Do this to a couple of beams. Go tell the new guy that he has to go around a check the beams for moisture content. And he has to measure how much is in each beam. Then give the report to the general foreman, who is on the joke.
