They called him “Dakota Tubby”. They knew him in every pool hall up and down the Mississippi. Him and his Electrolux Pronto Stick Vac. Every night he could find a sucker. “He plays with a vacuum?” they’d say when he walked in the joint. “I can take him!” And then “Dakota Tubby” would clean ‘em out, easy as one, two, three.

It didn’t hurt that the Electrolux 2-in-1 Cordless Stick Vac had two speeds. And that, with a simple button bush, it changed from a regular stick vacuum to a portable hand unit with built in crevice tool. “Dakota Tubby” always saved that for the end, so he could get in close, for the kill. He liked to see his opponents sweat a little.

After he won, “Dakota Tubby” always hefted his Electrolux 2-in-1 Cordless Stick Vac like a champion. It was easy, since the lightweight Cyclonic-style vacuum was just slightly over five pounds. It was sturdy, too, which helped when the patsy wanted his money back. It was too bad, because “Dakota Tubby” had a firm policy. After he owned a table, he never gave out anything but pain.

So when everyone was on the floor he’d just stroll out, Electrolux 2-in-1 Cordless Stick Vac over his shoulder, and walk right to the next train, to the next town. It was a dirty life, but he wouldn’t have it any other way.
