Haha.

I had vacuum cleaner that sucked badly.
I had to replace it with one that sucked big-time.

You could be onto a good thing if your vacuum cleaner really sucks.

Good things come to those who wait.

Time and tide wait for no man.

It's a good thing we have proverbs, and vacuum cleaners, innit?

Moral of the story: just because it's a good thing doesn't mean it doesn't suck.

Or just because it's a double negative doesn't mean.....or does it?

Literally, it's good.
Figuratively, it's bad.

Although I read that one time the Electrolux vacuum company, which is Scandinavian I think, made an ad in North America that said, "Nothing sucks like Electrolux", and it got pulled after two days. They were apparently unaware that to say something sucks is not a good thing in NA. However, there used to be an Electrolux store not far from my apartment, and not long ago they had a sign that said the same thing. I think they saw the humor in it. :mrgreen:
