I was laughing at this as I had also recently caught an old "I Love Lucy" episode based on this. Lucy couldn't resist the salesman who came in and threw dirt on her floor and sold her a vacuum. Unable to bring herself to get him to take it back at Ricky's insistence, she figured, seeing how he did his sales pitch, she could do that and just sell it to someone else. She shows up at a lady's door, throws dirt on her floor and says she has $50 that the lady can keep if her vacuum fails to clean up the dirt in 10 seconds. She starts her watch and flips the switch, vacuum doesn't work. The lady explains the electricity is out and grabs the $50. LOL
