I am the vacuum healer. I’ve been rebuilding them for friends and neighbors, office and work mates since my mother taught me how to break down an old bagged Hoover when I was 10. The manager at Guitar Center San Jose. BIll McGarry, was cussing at their vacuum when the assistant sent me into the PA room to interview for a job. I sat on the floor with him and fixed their old Kirby while I interviewed. “When can you start?” “”Now?” “Tell X, the assistant manager out there to fill out your paperwork. Tell him I don’t care if you don’t know shit about anything else in this building, you understand the vacuum cleaner. Which is more than I can say for the rest of these idiots.” And I blew coffee out my nose over the Whales.
Scarecrow lacks a brain, so he can’t get brain freeze from cold ice cream. Anyone who doesn’t chuckle at these humorous cartoons must be a scarecrow. Maybe humorists should conduct a straw poll to see how many people have actually laughed at their cartoons.
I used to love the saucy postcards! When I was little my Gran used to take me on holiday to Ilfracombe and while she was browsing in the shops I’d be out the front having a sneaky giggle at the saucy postcard display. It had to be sneaky as my Gran would have been horrified.
You would be wrong to assume that, because if you visited some of the ‘tackier’, downmarket seaside towns, (as I like to do, for the nostalgia) they are still sold in some shops. But the current price of stamps is making them disappear fast.âđ
Funny entertainment. Thanks, Pete! I hope you had a nice weekend. I am now (trying) to grab all the missed postings. đ Best wishes, Michael
