In a Vacuum

  I own a Dyson vacuum cleaner; it's bagless and I would not go back to the type with bags.   It was a gift, and I'm pretty sure it was ordered from a late night TV info-mercial.
  Another ad featured the Ear Vac, a device which uses vacuum power to suction out earwax, instead of employing the potentially  painful  and dangerous practice of inserting a Q-tip into the ear canal.  I get the shivers thinking what else might be vacuumed out: it doesn't seem like a good idea.
    Late tonight I saw another vacuum ad, this time for the PosTvac.  The tip-off  to its use should have been apparent when the camera panned to the tire swing hanging from a tree, but it still caught me off guard.  Is nothing spared from the suction of the vacuum?
