Our vacuum sucks!
The vacuum that my housemates and I use (mostly me (well, ALWAYS me actually))is an Electrolux and must be decades old, well okay then, at least 20 years old. I was using it earlier this week and read (out of vacuuming boredom) some of the things that were written on it – i.e. maker's name – Electrolux, vacuum model – its an Elite! An oxymoron? I think so, anyway I digress.
Upon the vacuum was a sticker that Electrolux obviously thought to be clever and all pun–ny – 20 years ago maybe but not in 2005:
'NOTHING SUCKS LIKE AN ELECTROLUX'
Oh dear!
That reminds me of the story of Vauxhall having to change the Nova's name in Spanish–speaking countries because in Spanish, 'no va' means 'it doesn't work/go.'
