Hubby tried to help with housework

Exasperated he answers, "The stupid thing is broken, won't start. Got to buy a new one."
"Really", I said, "Show me - it worked fine the last time." So he did ...

I would buy a new one, even the Model A had an electric start.

That's a Miele from Germany. Very quiet and rolls on the carpet easily. We just got one and when the wife let me try it, I didn't to give it back! Honest.

As a great cartoonist once explained,

"The less you appear able to do, the less you will actually have to do!"

Dollars to doughnuts, she went ahead vacuumed the rug.......

BTW. Strong agreement on that Miele mention! Quiet, great dust filter, easy to handle... Stole one of my wife's (she's got 2!)... It's a fine little vacuum for the Cabriolet, or for any Model A at all. And, to be honest, the one she, 'Let me borrow' back in July is currently still hidden in the rumble seat... John Baldwin
