I've never owned a Kirby, but I do have an interesting Kirby memory (from around 1978 or so). I overheard two women talking about weight loss. One said that she had some kind of pants that you hook up to your vacuum cleaner and it helps you lose weight. She said she had a Kirby, so she was sure to lose a lot of weight.

Here's a link to a story about this and other diet fads:
From: http://m.rockymountainnews.com/news/2009/jan/19/take-dieting-fads-lightly/
"She also put on a pair of vacuum pants, these plastic pants that you hook up to the vacuum cleaner and then jump around a little bit. It's supposed to take fat off your thighs."

The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.
