Do your parents happen to live in Mayberry circa 1962?
Seriously, I thought vacuum cleaner salesmen went out with the milkman.
Okay . . .
Since we're talking about door to door vacuum salesmen and not the real topic . . .
We had a Kirby sales person come to our house maybe ten years ago or so. She was in her early 20s and smokin' hot. I let her inside for her demo. I let her continue the demo a little longer than she intended because I enjoyed watching her do the demo. I just wasn't convinced when she did that little piece of carpet she brought with her. I needed to see how that Kirby fared against the carpet in the living room. She was doing the hallway when I think she realizes I wasn't intending to buy . . . a vacuum cleaner.
I freely admit that I showed no concern for my personal safety during this incident. Heck, who know what she might have done with . . . er . . . to me?
Did I mention that she was attractive?
Well, in the case of my mom, according to her it went like this.
"Salesman"- I'm a vacuum salesman, may I come in?
Mom- what kind of vacuum are you selling?
"Salesman"- Umm, may I come in?
Mom- what brand are you selling?
"Salesman"- May I come in?
Mom- get off my property. I'm not interested.
And he left in a single cab truck. No vacuum cleaner, couldn't even say what brand or type. You can't tell me he was an actual saleman.
I'm not saying you're wrong. But when I see something like this I'd like to know where it came from...source?vast majority of people own more than just one firearm.
