Suppose you have a bunch of bats trapped in a wall inside your house.
You can cut a hole in your wall, peer in, and see them.  They're not
happy campers.  They're also not in a hurry to go anywhere either.  It
is really hard to get a hold of them with long-handled pliers or
heavy gloves, which is complicated due to the plumbing and electrical wires
in the wall.

Did you know that an excellent way to get a good grip on the bats is
to use a Shop-Vac?  They stick right to the end of nozzle, until you
simultaneously throw them out the window and switch the Shop-Vac to
"off".

I gave those bats the biggest hickey that they'll ever get in their
lives.


Shop-Vac, tool of many uses!  (-:
