Great Territory!
Published Jan 01, 1900
A door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman manages to bully his way into a elderly woman's home in deep farm country. "This machine is the best ever!" he exclaims, whilst pouring a bag of dirt over the lounge carpet. The woman says she's really worried it may not all come off, so the salesman says, "If this machine doesn't remove all the dirt completely, I'll lick it off myself." "Let me get you some ketchup," she says, turning toward the kitchen. "That's no problem, m'am, this beauty can suck up ketchup in a blink!" the salesman says proudly. "Oh, it not to vacumme, it's to help you... We're not connected to electricity yet!"
