Dust Busters: Busted

"How much would a dust-buster bust,
If a dust buster would bust dust?" - Annonymous


The grammatically correct answer to this age-old question would, obviously and undoubtedly be lots. (check it yourself) However, sadly, our world does not revolve around grammar in the way it should, and therein lies the inherent flaw in our poetic question. A dust-buster would bust lots of dust, if only it would bust dust at all.

Dust-busters (and tragically, their manufacturers ((yes, there are human traitors amongst us)) ) have been misleading us for all these years. Their name is wrong, because in fact, they don’t bust dust at all! Anyone who has ever tried to suck up dust in one of these fiendish devices would have no doubt soon found that far from removing the dust from the floor, as it claims to be able to do, it opts instead to smear it all over the place, and as an added bonus: creates Dust Bunny Clumps!!!

Dust is simply too small for it! These wicked electricity guzzlers are only capable of consuming larger objects. Fine, that’s manageable. Or so you would think. Five minutes before school, you decide to be (just typed “bee”…wow, identity problems) a responsible household member, and do a “spot of quick cleaning.” Alas, it is not to be. The non-dust-busting-dust-buster (which incidentally has probably had more rest than you), having spent the whole night on the charger, is still not charged enough to be effective…be ALERT and ALARMED!

I've just been enlightened ( i'm sorry if the spellin was wrong) but i will forever keep that in my stash of important facts for a fulfilling life. I like these facts- i myself have a theory- i might of told flux about it, it's about SARS and the reason why the epidemic occured- but i think it's a bit too graphic for everyone to see. Next time i will no doubtly be aware of these not so mythical dust bunnies and dust busters. RED ALERT
