VACUUMS SUCK!!!

[.dsaavedra.]

so the other week i was taking all my rods in for the winter (dont leave grahpite in the cold) and i took my fly rod down into 3 pieces so i i could store it. well i left the reel on the rod, i just took it apart and reeled in the slack line. well there was still a little bit of leader hanging off the tip top guide onto the floor. well my mom was vacuuming my room and she sucked up that bit of leader and it pulled the upper third of my rod into the vacuum with it   it chewed up the tip real bad. so right now im minus one fly rod. i was very disappointed when i found out, cuz she told me she sucked up the line when it happened, but i didnt know that the rod went too untill last night when i saw the shattered tip.  :-/

If there 's the slightest chance of something going wrong you can be ceratin is is going to go wrong.

Who 's to blame, you for not storing the rod properly or your mom and her vacuum ?

[Redlinerobert]

Good 'ole Murphy to the rescue.

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

That's why I don't vacuum

thats the thing. if it was 100% her fault im sure i'd have a new fly rod now....but it was a little of both our faults so i dont know what is to come...i guess i'll just be stuck without a fly rod.

If you vacuumed you're own room maybe you would'nt have a broken fly rod

Ask for a hard wood floor in your room from Santa , swiffers don't hurt much.

Sorry dude, must be a sign to get another sign from He-who-must-not-be-named (Not Voldermort) and buy another rod.

Your fault. You should have given your mother a break and cleaned your own room. It's good for you to help her out. I bet she even cooks, washes your clothes, and gives you money and love every now and then. Give her something in return. Clean up your own mess. She will love you even more(or think you are hiding something).

Good call.

I bet he appreciated getting lectured by strangers that know nothing about him though...

Took vacuum cleaner to repair shop as it was not working correctly and the repair man found a lot of fishing line wrapped around the wheel.

So now I double check for fishing line, hooks, beads, sinkers, etc. on the floor before I vacuum my home office/fishing room.

Lesson learned.

It is not your mother's fault. All she does is start the machine and run it across the floor. Glad someone is cleaning your room.

If you don't take care of your prized possessions then no one will.

And who does your laundry? Arn't you old enough to do laundry and learn to iron your shirts?

My wife taught our son to sew, iron, do laundry, wash the dishes, clean his room, clean his bathroom, cook and bake.  His wife is still shocked when he replaces buttons on his shirts and irons his clothes.

A word to the wise is sufficient!

The young lad seems like a good fellow.  My mom usually vacuums the house without any of my help.  Now, if she would ask me or something,  I would gladly help.

 Just blame it on the baitmonkey and be done with it.

yeah she vacuums the house but if she asked me to do stuff i will do it. i do other thigns around the house, but i dont vacuum. like i said i dont really think it was anybodys fault.

but from the looks of it i might be able to sand down the tip of the rod and somehow either get the remaining portion of rod out of the tip top guide or just get a new tip top guide and repair the rod taht way.

Dude, ALL vacuums suck.  That is one of the key selling points.

(surprised no one ran with that one yet)

[fourbizz]

Yeah, that was his ORIGINAL joke.

Heres your sign

[.dsaavedra.]

haha...yeah i was kinda hinting at that with the clever title and all.... : :)

[bassboy1]

Alright, do I get bonus points for being the first person to catch on (or at least acknowledge catching on), or do I lose all points for being the first dumb@** to point that out?

[fourbizz]

or do I lose all points for being the first dumb@** to point that out?

LOL!LOL!

Well........I guess we'll let dave decide.

:D :D

[.dsaavedra.]

now thats comedy!!!

i'll let you have bonus points for that one

I think you should thank the dear lady for trying to clean your equipment but advise that vacuuming is not necessary, a clean damp cloth is all that is needed.
