you folks are hilarious! seriously though, you can buy a hand pump for like five bucks 
i got one at Harbor Freight for $4, it works great. i have seen them sold at pet stores for fish tanks, they were like $15. What a rip off! fifteen bucks for a hand pump!?! |

Really all you need to install into the tubing is one of those balls you squeeze to get the flow going (like they have on gas siphons). Then just squeeze the ball to start the suction and there you go. Low tech solutions can be the best solutions.
beck, I LOVE that banana emoticon... that's hilarious!

sounds good. Much better than getting a tiny bit of nasty anaerobic water in your mouth...
I'm still too cheap for that though, lol.
