Sprinkler

Why is it that Andrew can use the sprinklers on the yard and never get soaked yet when I attempt to use the sprinklers, I get soaked?  Not just a little drizzle on my hands - nope - soaked.  I don't even try to adjust the settings, I just toss it out, and let it rip and I still get soaked.  Granted I am too lazy to turn the water off each time I move it - that might be my problem.  I use the ol' kink trick.  Yep, that might be my problem.
