One fall, my wife said, “We need a new vacuum cleaner, and I’ve made an appointment for a demonstration.” A while later she yelled to me out back, “The vacuum cleaner guy’s here.” I walked around front and there was a brand new Corvette with vanity plates that said, “KIRBY 1.” I gulped and went back to storm windows. We still have it (in the basement).

How hardhearted do you have to be to turn the kid down?

Kirby salesmen don’t realize how their trips to the Bahamas are financed. The machines only cost $350, yet get sold for $1200, duh.

I sold Kirby vacuum’s door to door once, worst three days of my life.

I sat through a Kirby sales pitch once. Worst three days of my life.
(well, it seemed like 3 days at least)

I bought a Kirby for $10 at a yard sale. Put a new belt in it and it’s been running for 22 years.
