Nature abhors a vacuum, especially if it is an over-priced POS from Dyson
I have no idea why the lady is vacuuming the footpath, though it perhaps it is a scene from an episode of Der Tatortreiniger, which would explain a lot. Nor do I know why the homeless dude is importuning her to buy a lily. Together they fight crime! There are all the ingredients here for a great Country-&-Western song.

ReplyDeleteOn second thought that vacuum cleaner just has to be a glomerulus - the part of the kidney named after a Roman matron's ball of wool.
