I balk at anyone telling me what shorts I can wear. And if I want to go commando, that's just between me and my vacuum.

(135,425 posts)Perhaps you can bang them against the side of the house, holding them out the window!!!!
Rig your stereo to play this, first thing in the morning:
Might as well give them something to gossip about!!!!
pinboy3niner
(53,339 posts)I love euphemisms!
But I'm not sold on your idea of hanging out the window to do it. Not after what happened the last time.

(24,024 posts)...from when I was a nursing student. I used to work weekends as a unit clerk in the ER of my university's hospital. One morning, I came in to find people with bemused facial expressions and poorly suppressed snickers.
A man in his fifties had managed to sneak into his sister's apartment during the night, and attempted to get his jollies with his sister's vacuum cleaner, resulting in penile injury.
At the time, Sears marketed a vacuum cleaner with a special carpet attachment that was supposed to do a really good job on carpets. It was called - the Beater Bar Power Mate.

(53,339 posts)...those people were very insensitive to snicker at Orrex like that!

(153,170 posts)I think more details from you are needed for that decision; yes INDEED
for example, you're not humping the vacuum cleaner, are you??? Yes or No answer, please
pinboy3niner
(53,339 posts)Not as bad as popping a balloon, when the dog suddenly vanished and we'd find her under the bed. But the vacuum would make her flee the room.
I never considered using my vacuum for anything other than cleaning. As for my dog, if she says anything about me she's a damn liar!
Skittles
(153,170 posts)I bumped into him with the vacuum when he was a kitten, but the vacuum WASN'T EVEN ON.....it didn't matter, he would ambush me constantly when I was vacuuming, to the point where I had to lock him up before cleaning

(53,339 posts)I posted it because I was bored with GD and its companion forum and thought we needed something at least a little amusing.
I was really hoping somebody would post a pun thread.

Unless your dad was also an Avon Lady I probably didn't know him.

(17,209 posts)That would explain the smiles on their faces.
"Hey, let's all go to Pinboy's mom's house and... vacuum."
