Another memory, circa probably 1961 or so. Remember we did not have hand held blow dryers at that time. We put our hair up into rollers and then put a plastic sack over our rollers and connected a hair dryer hose to the sack and sat and waited for the hair to dry. So one day when I was in a big hurry to go somewhere, the hair dryer quit when I had a head full of wet hair on rollers. What to do??? I had read somewhere, one of those helpful hints published in women's magazines, that your could hook up your canister vacuum cleaner in reverse to dry your hair. So, I managed to connect the hair dryer hose to the outlet of the vacuum cleaner, and sat down smug at my resourcefulness. My hair did dry, vacuum cleaner howling away, but when I took off the bag and rollers, I found to my dismay that the entire contents of the vacuum bag had also been blown into my hair. Lint was plastered to every strand of my hair making it stand out stiff and filthy from my head. What a mess! I brushed, and brushed, and brushed some more, dislodging huge piles of debris, and I'm sorry to say I eventually got enough out that I thought I was presentable enough to go out! No one said anything to me, but what can they have been thinking?
