Hong Kong Powdered Water 4

I like this one. The powdered water sounds funny by itself. As Steven Wright mentioned, "I got this powdered water - now I don't know what to add".

Some communication records from Improbable Research (http://improbable.com/2006/04/22/powdered-water/):

Question: Recently I read something about ?powdered water.? I wonder whether you have information regarding its use on a golf course.
P. W., CALIFORNIA

Answer: It seems that the National Cash Register Company has been successful in producing powdered water for industrial use. The powder is manufactured by coating tiny particles of water with gelatin. Although dry to the touch, the powder can easily be crushed or dissolved to a liquid state. The producer is adapting the technique to coat bank deposit slips and other forms - so that carbon copies can be made without the use of carbon paper. Science has indeed made some unusual advances in recent years. However, thq practical use of ?powdered water? on the golf course
seems to be many years away if it is in the future at all.
