The worst lie of all. I figured it out....

Sure, we know about the lies the media repeat, the lies about WMD in Iraq....

but today it hit me - the worst lie (at least for a gardener) is when you buy a hose and it says that it is guaranteed not to kink.

Like hell it doesn't kink - my neighbors must be amazed at what comes out of my mouth as I try to water my big gardens, snaking the hose around, and every few minutes the damn thing kinks up and stops the water flow.

Guaranteed not to kink?

They are really, really long, and they do not kink, but it takes a gorilla to coil them.

I'm pretty sure my neighbors cringe every time I water my garden, too.
