Goodness, here's another one! Really, I'm surprised someone hasn't written a
dissertation on this.

Apparently, this floor care line of interpretation has a more distinguished
tradition than we thought. Consider this work (attached) by Henry Fuseli.

Me, I'm still imagining Hamlet: The Floor Care Quarto. A play that begins
with "Hoover's there?" and that gives us a prince who is too much i' the
Dyson,
who worries that the ghost may be a Dirt Devil, who sweeps (of course) to his
revenge with wings as Swiffer as thought, and who, in the end, was likely to
have proved most Royal.
Forgive me.
