Scrunchy Hoses--as seen on TV

Have you seen those scrunchy hoses sold on TV? I'm sure they have another name, but the idea is that they scrunch up when not in use and look sort of like just washed pantyhose legs. Bionic Man decided that he would love to get a few of those and happened upon them in a local store. Be advised, they are not everything they claim to be. Oh, they do conserve space, and the theory is a good one. However, they tend to burst under pressure. They are only under pressure when water is coursing through them, so if you only want one to hang on the side of the house, you're good. If you want to actually use one, you aren't so lucky. I'm trying to be charitable here. After his second one burst, he decided to try to fix them. It has become a daily ritual now. Trouble is that every time they burst and get fixed they are a bit shorter. Undaunted, this activity continues. I am envisioning the day when he is standing with his 18 inch hose, next to the house, trying to water the lawn, or wash the car.
