Michael, try using the hosepipe on your car, so as to enable Keep you keep your hosepiping skills upto scratch. Failing that, you can hose down a steet urchin who refuses to go through a car wash.

Paul, your Zen like state reminds me of a Zen teacher who rejoiced in the name of M.T. Ness. The chlorophyllic kids dont feel any pain, ( so I am told ), as you are just giving them a hair cut - sort of. So dont feel guilty.Keep away from green cement and the like. Cheers.
