Once started, and the outlet is below the inlet, it flows. Now if I <i>really</i> need to do that (the word we want is <b>siphon</b>) I use a Jackrabbit Pump (Stanley used to make one), with the tubing in a housing and a roller run by a crank. Back up to release the roller. Same idea for draining the fishtank (another potential Yech!...) Also found (overseas, for Diesel toilets) that a thumb over the end of a garden hose could let you pump the hose into a Jerry can or a drum, using the thumb carefully coordinated with your pumping as a check-valve.

There's only one wall. There's no inside. To have a path through, there would have to be two walls. I don't think this is making any sense. But yeah, either you can't use the straw as a wall to a maze, or biff can't drink his milk. MATH Of course. There’s only one wall. There’s no inside.
