There are worse things

Many years ago, I recall "New Scientist" commenting on a report in a medical publication on the eye-watering subject of gentlemen's injuries caused by hand-held vacuum cleaners[1].

It seems there were a number of cases of chaps getting their, err, chaps into these devices, either "accidentally[2]" or for their own reasons. Apparently believing this would be quite safe, the unfortunate visitors to A&E had interactions with the internal fans.[3]

Just thought I'd share....

[1] The name "Hoover Dustette" sticks in my addled memory for some reason

[2] "It turned itself on" (editorial response: and him to, presumably)

[3] I recall a comment along the lines of "driven to new lengths by the experience..."
