A thoughtful essay gw!

This has nothing to do with anything ... but thought you might allow me to park it here. Your kids will say, "I want one!":

The Electrolux Deathray.....

A modified Electrolux canister vacuum atop a Steelcase chair base. Made of steel, machined aluminum and acrylic, it stands 20 inches tall with a length of 54 inches. When fired from a trigger at the back of the gun, clear acrylic rods glow a bright ruby red, and a jet like sound comes from 6 German siren whistles powered by vacuum pressure. The sound can be adjusted with the variable pitch dial on the side. Watch the infamous DeathRay commercial here.

Excellent commercial, that was great.

BTW, thanks for reminding me, I was going to add to the piece but I forgot.

Hoover is the name of the President associated with the Great Depression: but it is also household name for vacuum cleaners. Another brand of vacuum cleaners is Electrolux.

You do the math.

Cheers!
