demonstration.' And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto his
hallway carpet. 'If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this
horse manure from your carpet, Sir, I will personally eat the remainder.'
The unemployed oilfield hand stepped back and said, 'Well let me get you a
