Water Water Everywhere

Today Klazina bought me some drinking water because I had run out. It was one of those 5 gallon jugs that you put in a dispensor thingy. Well, the thing weighs a tonne (actually I think it weighs about .5 kilos less than the metric tonne, but it sure feels like a tonne), so instead of me lugging it up the hill to my place, she dropped it off at the MAF office (next door) and I picked it up there. Well, the MAF office and my residence is separated by a bamboo fence on the side and a long brick wall along the front of both properties along the road. I went to open the gate to my house but the grounds keeper had gone for lunch and locked the gate. So I thought that I could lift the water jug onto the brick wall, climb over the gate, and take the jug down. Well, the only flaw in my theory was that the brick wall is relatively narrow...too narrow to balance a 5 gallon container of water. So I inadvertantly dropped the water jug over the wall. No big deal right? Wrong. See the water jug had fallen onto the MAF side of the bamboo fence (if you're wondering what bamboo fence I'm talking about I'm severly disappointed in the lack of your short term memory. Please start reading over from the top. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.) Not only that, but the hard plastic developed two tiny cracks. If the container was holding sand or rocks or something it wouldn't be so bad, but it's holding water which apparently likes leaking through cracks. I should know because my kitchen now has a puddle of water in it. So now when I pump the water out (I'm too poor to buy a dispenser so we have a pump that we stick in the top of the jug and pump the water out) air escapes through the crack and I have a severe lack of pressure. Oh well, that'll learn me.
