But, there are an amazing number
of uses for a piece of old garden hose.

Not including siphoning gasoline. I tried that when I was a teenager,
and didn't have the lung capacity to fill the hose with gas to start the

repeatedly. Result was I inhaled a lot of fumes, and was extremely ill
for several days.
