    Funny (Well, to me it was.)

    I got good laugh yesterday from a true story. A guy my wife works with told her about seeing the cops at his neighbor's house the evening before. Very nice, quiet, and unassuming people. Domestic violence? Who woulda thunk it? Then he sees the cops escort a guy out of the house, stumbling along with his arms full of hoses and tubes. Turns out the guy was a Kirby vacuum cleaner salesman that had been there almost 4 hours. The neighbors resorted to calling Bowling Green's finest because they couldn't get rid of the guy!

    I find that hilarious.

    What's even funnier is 2 units and 4 cops came up to corral the dangerously pushy salesman. It's a slow night when 4 patrolman show up to get some of that action.

    You can't make this stuff up folks.

    Had one come to my door and actually told me that if I let him give an example of the Carpet Cleaning device that comes with the Kirby Vacuum. He would receive $ 30.00 from his Company as part of his pay income. So I thought what the heck I needed a room cleaned anyway. So I let the guy clean my carpet and he got the $ 30.00 from Kirby. We both came out a winner and he thanked me and left.
