vacuum

this was my attempt to try and do a hyper link thingy...
i did it in a very complicated way... so if you have an
easier way, let me know.
vacuums.
today we went to pick up our vacuum from the vac-fixer-sleezeball-man
very long story, but this is the part i wanted to share with you.
he was trying to get us to buy many things, including a vac with a bag (instead of the awesome bagless kind) (which he was pretty ghetto about selling) and a $2000 vacuum.
This was his tactic:
with calculator in hand:
okay so you have
24 months in a year
mult that by
20 years
at say: $60 a pop ("and that's low-balling it")
and you get
$3500
(first off i just did the math, and it does not come out to $3500)
but did you notice that there AREN'T 24 months in a year.
I was laughing so hard inside.....
Anyways that comes to like $28,800 for one stinking vacuum bucko...
he did NOT know what he was doing. Needless to say,
we went to walmart and got a $150 vac. Even though i wanted a Dyson.

ma has a dyson. i absolutely despise it. it weighs like 300 lbs. and you have to empty it like every 5 minutes. my featherlite from target works even better and cost maybe 3 dollars. :)
