I got suckered into a Kirby vacuum cleaner demo. Some really cute girl rang the bell, handed me a 2-liter bottle of coke, and asked something. I said yeah, and her partner comes running in with his Kirby. 
I told him from the very start that there was not a chance I'd be buying anything. He vacuumed my floor and chatted me up. He asked me at one point if I'd ever dated outside my race (He was black, and so was the cute girl that suckered me in). I said no, but only because the opportunity had never presented itself.
He shampooed a patch of my carpet also, but thankfully didn't show me the slop that he'd dredged up. 
Now, I like Kirbys. My fraternity house had 2 of them (and probably still do) that looked like they were bought some time in the 70's. If you don't know anything about these vacuums, the front detaches, and there are all manner of attachments you stick on there. The frat even had a grinding wheel attachment! But the one he was demonstrating to me yesterday cost (are you sitting down?)

. I kept my promise to him and didn't buy anything. If money were no object, I'd buy one, but money is very much an object.

the lie being that those things are worth $1900.
