The Joy of Vacuum Cleaners

This post is not related to my forthcoming book, We Found the Vacuum Cleaner.

You know how they say, “Never give Your First Wife a gift with a cord attached.”? (Yes, correctly punctuated.) Well, more good news!

Last evening My First Wife threatened me with a volcanic eruption if I didn’t take her down to the bedroom and bathroom store to get her a certain vacuum cleaner. It was on sale AND she had a 20% Off coupon to boot. Hey, who am I to argue if she will make our home look better for 20% less? So naturally, to protect the entire Midwest from volcanic ash, I took her to the store.

The gizmo she got is a cool little battery operated debris picker-upper. Back at home, I assembled it in about 10 minutes and set it on the charger. We both played with it this morning and it works real good. It even has a handy hand-held attachment for the car or other inconvenient places. You oughta get one. Take a look here.

Attention husbands: there’s no cord attached.
