    Hooverophilia?

    This is something not even Xoggoth could think of.

    A Polish worker has come up with an unusual excuse after being caught in the act with a vacuum cleaner.
    How About That: More weird news from around the world

    The building contractor claimed he was cleaning his underpants with Henry Hoover when he was found naked and on his knees in a hospital's staff canteen.

    A stunned security guard stumbled onto the man in the middle of a compromising act with the cleaner, which has a large smiley face painted on its front and a hose protruding from its "nose".

    According to the Sun, the contractor was supposed to be locking up the building site near the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital where his firm is refurbishing administration offices.

    The security guard, suitably horrified, told the man to "clean himself and the hoover" before asking him to leave and informing his bosses.
    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

    Had to be a contractor....





    We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it.

      Sorry, this was me too.

      I can 'take off' a Polish builder's accent very well.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        Cue 101 jokes about funky hoses and suction....
        Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

          How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think
