Some people are like cordless vacuums,they only suck a little.Some people(many actually)don’t suck at all.
But then you have the “Oreck”people(no offense to the fine Oreck vacuum advertised every 10 minutes on TV )….they suck bigtime.The anti pet guy sounds like the Oreck variety.
Knowing the difference and how to spot them can save much heartburn and money.
How is a Vacuum Like a Man?

Whoops! We usually try to weed out the dad emails, but I wasn’t paying close enough attention today. Maybe Postcards From Yo Daddy should be our next project!
September 8, 2008 at 4:56 pm
But I must add, this dad’s got a way with the metaphors : )

I thought a while ago about suggesting “postcardsfromyodaddy” but upon reflecting on my e-mail communications with my father, which consists of mostly dirty forwards and 1 to 5 word responses…I realized that postcardsfromyodaddy is would be wildly boring…
That being said, postcardsfromyomomma could be expanded to include, single dads, aunties, grandmothers, or anyone with the generally “maternal” instinct.

I’m the original poster. I was surprised to see the comment about weeding out emails from dads. When I submitted my dad’s words of wisdom there were boxes to check off who the e-mail was from (dad, sister, grandmother, etc.) but nothing saying that these submissions would be weeded out! Oops. :)
September 9, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Ha, that’s a good point! We should probably change that. And yeah, Jeffrey, I think that’s why we haven’t started postcardsfromyodaddy… dads just aren’t funny in the same way! Well, most of them. This dad’s pretty funny.
