Milton has one of those vacuums with the clear tube that sucks all the dirt into, and you can watch it spin around like a tornado.

Milton tipped the vacuum over to clear out the jam, but he forgot to turn off the vacuum.

He watched in horror... and then fascination as his fingers rattled around the clear plastic tube in the vacuum cleaner.
