What the Fook is this? And how much did it cost?

**The Fresh Prince** · 09-03-2011, 01:06 PM

You know how sometimes you come home from work, and the wife is all excited to show you her days purchase?

Normally it's a new dress or a pair of shoes and she asks you, "How much do you think it cost?" You then humor her with a few outrageous figures like 800bt or 1000bt to inflate her ego and she will then smugly reply "No! 200bt!"

I don't really know what goes through their heads for the next few seconds but as their eyes go up and to the left and they enter their dream world, I assume they are imagining them selves walking through Harrods fighting of shop assistants to get the lowest price and thinking to themselves "I am the best shopper in the GOD DAMN world!"

This was not quite the case yesterday when I was presented with this.

So I thought I'd open this one up to TDers.

What the fuk is that? and how much did it cost?

Jizzybloke and Noodles, you are both excluded from the competition.

Some kind of cleaning device that was sold with a very strong sales pitch. 299-499.

**DrAndy** · 09-03-2011, 01:13 PM

that looks like one of those magic mops/vaccuums they advertise at outrageous prices on TV shopping channels

And for correctly guessing the answer you win an almost new, used once, batterpower broom stick!! All you have to do to claim your prize is waste valuable petrol money to come and collect it!

**Thetyim** · 09-03-2011, 01:46 PM

Thanks FP, you have made my day.
I forked out 900 baht for a Smart Electric Broom.
Only used it once - maybe Sir Harold would care to take it away for me.

**Travelmate** · 09-03-2011, 01:50 PM

Can you post up a demo of how to use it.
I need a good laugh

**Davis Knowlton** · 09-03-2011, 01:54 PM

Time to seriously limit mamma's tv time.

**aging one** · 09-03-2011, 01:55 PM

It can fly like in Harry Potter right? For 2999 it ought to have some vacuum function as well.

**withnallstoke** · 09-03-2011, 01:59 PM

Whooooooooooooo.
Triangles/pyramids.
It's an Egyptian air hostess scampy removing tool.

**The Fresh Prince** · 09-03-2011, 02:05 PM

Hang on! don't leave yet. Let me take you for a little walk around this beauty and see if I can sell you on this bad boy.

Featuring

Rechargeable power source!
This unit has a rechargeable battery that can last for upto 10mins on a single charge and has a mere 3 hour recycle, allowing you to do half the room in one go!

It's almost impossible to insert this in the wrong way thanks to these handy arrow stickers!

Instant On Technology

With the latest designs from the hardware section in Halfords, this dual direction switch goes both ON and OFF!

Multi Directional handle

Don't get stuck going in just one direction, this handle has a 'Bend' feature allowing even wheelchair users to get into those hard to reach corners. A swivel head on the unit also adds an element of surprise so that it can shoot off in a crazy direction to bring fun to you household chores!

Tri-Rotary Swival Brush Technology with a 'Bag-less' Collection Unit

Here is the business end. 3 Rotating swivel brushes to pick up almost half the dirt that you are trying to pick up. Even though the wife was sent out to buy a 'Vacuum Cleaner' she can come home safe in the knowledge that this unit has absolutely no suction technology what so ever!

The rotating 'Blades' then throw some of the 50% of dirt collected into this handy to use 'bag-less' head unit that drops 100% of the collected dirt back onto the floor when you open it.

We are going back to the shop tomorrow. Not to take it back! I want to offer the genius salesman that sold this to her a fooking job!

but do I need one?

seen movie The Joneses?

Your question should be, Who doesn't need one?

**Travelmate** · 09-03-2011, 02:20 PM

What are you going to do with it?

The question should be, What am I not going to do with it? and the answer would be "Use it"

No, I really don't know. It will probably look really nice sat next to my wakeboard and golf clubs. I had a peaceful day yesterday of the wife not talking to me after the 'unveiling'. Then when we got up this morning, I looked at the floor and said

"So did you try the new brush out last night?"
"Yes, didn't you see I did all the floors and your bathroom."
"Did you do the living room?"
"Yes"
"Really, because it still seems to be covered in crap"
"Yes baby, its terrible, it hardly works at all. I'm sorry I shouldn't have bought it."
