Men and Vacuums

Why can you get a man to vacuum a lawn, but not a rug?

———- from Maureen McVerry of Santa Monica CA

Lawn vacuuming stimulates the hunter instinct in every man. Shop vac in hand, he imagines himself to be systematically slaughtering whole herds of insects and worms. Although the living room carpet is home to a great many dust mites, their microscopic size and relatively tame environment take all the fun out of a man’s hunting. If you really want that lovable old lug of a hubbie’s help at home, let him apply full body camouflage and put a tape of jungle sounds on the stereo.
