Last week we had the carpets cleaned; something that any visitor to our house could tell you was long overdue. Previously we had been using a chemical dry cleaning company (the type you typically see in office buildings) to clean the carpets semiannually. While the cleaning the provided looked nice (for a little while), I was always bothered by the fact that they weren't pumping and extracting scalding hot water into the carpets to deep clean them. With three small children abusing the carpets regularly I wanted deep steam cleaning. Enter Stanley Steemers, who did a simply fabulous job. That chemical cleaning company will never be back, it's Stanley Steemer for us every 6 months for us from now on.
The whole time they were though here I couldn't help but think how unfortunate it would be to be an employee (or owner) of a Stanley Steemer location in the Cleveland area. The must really be tired of snide remarks...

If you're completely lost as to why this is "humor" perhaps it's best you just move on to the next post. If you just won't be satisfied until you know what's so funny you can find out here (NSFW). Link contains graphic language that may emotionally scar you for life - you were warned...

How long can it be before we see a Rusty Trombone's Musical Intrument Repair popping up somewhere?

Umm, do us all a favor, man, either pull this post altogether or put a FAR STRONGER warning behind that last link. That is just disgusting, and says quite a bit about you that you knew what it was and thought of it then... :)

Yes, okay, you warned me... "If you don't get the reference, you really probably don't want to know..." and I was dumb enough to click the link. Damn! And the Back Arrow didn't work.. my browser came back to Wizbang but the knowledge stayed in my head. Please excuse me, I have to go hose off my brain.

Get a Bissel steam cleaner and do it yourself.
You will be amazed (and even a little repulsed) at
the quantity of dirt you suck out of the carpeting
(the repulsive part is knowing that you were sitting
and rolling around on that stuff).
Once you start cleaning, you won't want to stop.
You'll do the furniture and the cars.
The thrill of cleaning does wear off after a couple
years but it is kind of amazing that there actually
was a thrill to be found there.

Yeah, that's disgusting. The company name is, of course, a play on the name of an ancient steam driven car.

We got a restruant called THE TRAILHEAD and a sewing supply store called WOODEN SPOOLS and we used to have a buisness called FUR POCKET AND FREINDS although it sound more like a kids book
