Have You ever.... (Warsaw,Poland) DOH! Man Fired For Using a Vacuum Cleaner To _________(yep, you guessed it) WARSAW, Poland -- A Polish worker came up with an unusual excuse after being caught in the act with a vacuum cleaner, but his employer did not by the excuse. The building contractor claimed he was cleaning his underpants with Henry Hoover when he was found naked and on his knees in a hospital's staff canteen. The contractor was supposed to be locking up the building site where his firm is refurbishing administration offices. A stunned security guard stumbled onto the man in the middle of the compromising act with the Henry Hoover vacuum cleaner, which has a large smiley face painted on its front and a hose protruding from its "nose". The security guard, suitably horrified, told the man to "clean himself and the Hoover" before asking him to leave and informing his bosses. When later questioned by his employers, the man said he was vacuuming his underpants, which was "a common practice in Poland". The employers, HG Construction, didn't buy his odd story and he has since been fired. "That behavior is not acceptable, though it gave a few people a laugh", said a company spokesperson. Henry Hoover is described on a cleaning website as "famous for its looks, but under its fascia lies a powerful, reliable vacuum cleaner ready to go time and time again." I'm trying not to picture this and holding my stomach for laughing so hard,, this guy is creative though
