And sometimes grammar goes back to where it started from

Has it really been one month since my last post?  I have previously stated that I don't have to worry about running out of fodder for this blog because ad writers write scripts the way that people talk. That underlines the fact that the spoken word has gotten quite sloppy since I graduated from college.

Today's attention is applied to a revolutionary device: The Pocket Hose. This hose is durable and compact. Richard Karn is the spokesperson who, as Al Borland on 'Home Improvement,' has mastered the look of a handyman who really does have a handle on gadgets. His everyday speech patter says that when you are done with the hose and shut off the water is goes back to 'where it started from.' Does it head back to your local home supply store? Does it get sucked back into your television. Did it come from a different state?

When you are finished the hose returns to its original size, ready for easy storage, no knots, except maybe in the spokesperson's tongue.
