[AT] 100 year old stumps are nasty (burning)

[Easley, Greg]

My wife caught her vacuum cleaner on fire last winter.

Wife:  "Honey, the vacuum smells like it's on fire!"
Me:  "Sure does.  What were you doing with it?"
Wife:  "Cleaning out the wood stove."
Me:  "Doh!!!"

And she's not even a blonde...

An elderly lady, who has since died, was telling me one day about her 
vacuum cleaner catching on fire.   I said "YOUR VACUUM CLEANER CAUGHT 
FIRE....how did that happen Ms. Daisy?"
She proceeded to tell me.

Seems that she was cleaning the soot out of her pot type kerosene heater

with one of those old Electrolux vacuums that pulls the dirty air right 
through the motor housing.  She told me she had done it many times
before 
with no problem.

I said "Ms Daisy you were trying to build a jet engine!"   She didn't 
understand what I meant and I didn't try to explain.  LOL

No she didn't burn herself up but died of natural causes.  She was a
nice 
lady that worked in the school lunch room when I was a "little fellow"
as 
she would have said.
