Betty is back and she is up to no good.

I must tell you a funny story of Legal Stranger: I had him vacuum
with the shop vac in the corner by the hot tub. There were some webs and dust, etc. that accumulated there. I was on the other side of the room while he was doing this.....SUDDENLY I heard MANY large pieces of the styrofoam cover of the hot tub breaking, and loud screaming, kinda like that of a woman, but with a deep voice. This hot tub has a very thick foam cover!!!
I knew there was big trouble.
NEXT... I ran over, being the kind of person that I am, who gives a crap about everything....
What I saw you would not believe!!!! There was Legal submerged in the hot tub, fully clothed, shoes, socks, jeans, wallet, 2 shirts!!!! HE HAD HIS HANDS ABOVE THE WATER WITH THE SHOPVAC IN HIS HANDS WHILE IT WAS STILL PLUGGED IN AND VACUUMING!!!
And the cover!!! OH MY!!!! It was in many of pieces, like shattered glass!!!!
He threw the vacuum out of the water while I ran to unplug it from the outlet!!! ( I will email the Sheriff a picture of this to prove it!! ) I could not even think up such a thing!!! Of course, he was OK.....BUT I WAS IN traumatic stress disorder mode for hours later!! That could have ended much worse with electricity involved! Plus there was water EVERYWHERE, like a giant typhoon hit the room!
I guess he felt like bathing with
a vacuum cleaner? Who knows how men really think when asked to help with housework.... sometimes it is just easier to do it yourself!

BLB - a Kodak moment possibly? I cannot imagine what it was like going through it but I have to say the story is hilarious. Sorry Legal.

Have a great day everyone.

Well, I must say I will need to share today's ...5th...with my buddy Legal, I think he needs it today.

Is there something wrong with a vacuum in water, I bring mine in the shower all the time...and no don't ask me why.

Everyone, especially you Legal, go have a P & P day.

legal stranger said...

Ladies, the moral of the story is do it yourself.

My lines as I went in was
MF
son of a b!%@$
Woaaaa CS SOB MF
you get the idea
The cover is trashed.
The vacuum cleaner is saved.

BL Basketcase said...

He religiously practices that moral
of the story.

Wow, that was a close call. legal could have been electrocuted. He needed a bath, but there are better ways to do it.

kkdither said...

Well, I want to know, are the cobwebs and dust bunnies gone? Maybe he can do some ironing for me next time he takes a shower.... (thank goodness he is okay!)

Ironing? you got to be kidding!
He still wears polyester leisure suits!
Maybe ls and jed can share the 5th. and discuss the toilet prize lol

legal stranger said...

Good one anon.
Polyester leisure suits
Jed and I go way back, VO and seven
Teachers, Ripple, Michelob, if it could be brewed or aged, it was for us.
Even with my poddy mouth as I went in, I went down to drown cursing and laughing at the same time.
I was under water holding the vacuum cleaner high out of the water with one hand. BLB quickly unplugged the vacuum. A kodak moment it was.
