A man and his lawn...

My husband Tom was very excited last year when he purchased a fancy new lawn sprinkler.  He had hoped this sprinkler would be better than the crappy sprinklers he has purchased in the past.  he had envisioned a season of rolling green lawns and looks of envy on the faces of neighbors.

    I'm intrigued by the new sprinkler... Certainly the name "AquaZoom" implies great things. The packaging has me imagining new uses for it. For example, what about where it says "Comfort" on the package? What about this fine piece of equipment implies being comfortable? Perhaps there are uses around the home that you hadn't considered... possibly as a marital aid.
