Hosectomy

Several months ago, my friend Kathy spent the night at my place. I was either at work or down in Albany for school that evening. Being the very good friend that she is, she decided to do me the favor of vacuuming my apartment for me. Prior to that she had laid out her clothing, including her "unmentionables", for the next day. The latter being laid out in the bathroom in preparation for her morning shower before going to work herself.

That same evening, I received a phone call from her in which she explained how she had inadvertently sucked up a pair of said unmentionables in the vacuum and that they were stuck in the hose. After several failed attempts by her, and later by me, to remove the "obstruction", I needed to resort to purchasing of a new vacuum. I bought a bagless version this time.

However recently this new vacuum ceased to suck! :) (Or, rather, it REALLY SUCKS! LOL). So I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands and perform the much needed and long-awaited surgical procedure on my old vacuum, which is the title of this post. I am happy to report that the procedure was performed without complication,




the obstruction removed




and the patient



is doing superbly, being instantly restored to full and strenous duty. Miraculous!

This procedure could not have been possible without the innovative technology of this versatile surgical tape




I knew that event would supply humor for years to come... LOL :)
