I need to change the oil in this thing. It seems to be getting noisy.

Since their vacuum cleaner with cyclone technology is so popular, Dyson decides to also make lawn mowers.

Jim here, sees his neighbor must have bought one.

My 'mini cyclone' has a 100 megawatt motor - what's yours? 1 kilowatt?

Auntie M enjoys listening to Mannheim Steamroller on her earbuds and is about to experience the full, uncut version of "Fresh Aire Category V; The Finger of God" well before its first release. Since Auntie M was never seen again, Manheim renamed FA5 "To the moon" in her honor and posthumously awarded her the premier lifetime "Classical Gas" Fan Club award. Dorothy and Toto accepted the award in her absence.

John is tired of the prairie dogs in his back yard playing their music too loud. What he does not know is that Clapton Dog has recently completed construction of the giga-power amplifier kit he ordered from the Hyneman/Savage/Bose school of
Zeus-tronics. Soft-spoken Cinthy-Sue Dog has left the kareoke mic hot and the volume near max. Parking John's lawnmower directly over the hole in his yard may prove to be a bit more than John's intended proportional escalation.

At a safe distance from ground zero from Hillary's response on election night when she finally realized all her fake news media and polls not only didn't do the job, but were also no where close to being correct.

Jim always bragged about how he was related to the crewman who famously arranged deck chairs during the sinking of the Titanic.
