Integrated or retrofitted to heavy andor bulky furniture (though portable models are available), the Furniture Prop holds the side of a sofa, bed or other floor-hugging furniture up at an angle so you can easily get under it with vacuum cleaner, broom or leaf-blower.
When done just tuck it back underneath,
sprung flush with the underside.

Apparently during dinner the elk had drunk a lot of beer, fallen down the stairs, and died.

This is probably the best idea I have read here for at
least three days. |
|

If you could figure out a reliable retrofitting
method, it's probably the sort of thing that would
make you a millionaire. |

What's wrong with a judiciously-placed solid fuel rocket motor ? |
|
| |
Next, the roomba low-profile hydraulic jack ... |
|
| |
Well, you wouldn't want it to be too simple or safe. How about a means to wind up the spring like a crossbow, then trigger it with a foot pedal and the furniture leaps up into the "please vacuum under me" position. |
|
| |
And your grandmother leaps up into the "please
remove me from the ceiling" position. |

Just like the Christmas before last then, [MB]. So fortunate that your
cousin Meretricia is demonstably adept at the Heimlich manoeuvre,
something
that no doubt is of great value in her chosen profession; those false
teeth fairly flew across the room. |
|

Did your Grandmother's sense of smell ever fully return, or is she still
using
the artificial nose that Sturton so lovingly crafted for her ? |
|
| |
I fear that, as usual, you have misunderhended
the details. That particular grandmother (I have
five, or four if you don't count one of them) has
her own nose, but artificial thighs. |
|
| |
You may be confounding her with Great Uncle Sep
(actually he's not really an uncle, though he is
great), developer of Sep's Nostrilluary
Decongestant (now marketed with greater success
under the trade-name Cheddite). |
|
| |
Sep has the dubious distinction of being the only
known case of a person putting out his eye with
his own nose. For many years, he wore celluloid
noses, which would probably have been fine had
he not
had a penchant for cheroots. |
|
| |
For Sep's 88th birthday, Sturton presented him
with a carbon-fibre nose, modelled on that worn
by Tycho Brahe. |
|
| |
Tycho Brahe certainly liked to get his portrait painted. |
|
| |
(eventually I did see the addition. first a bit of bump and than something metallic. Ohhh!) |
