 Yesterday I was deep frying some calamari rings while the wife was 
 vacuuming. She came and complained that the vacuum cleaner wasn't 
 working right, so I looked at it , and found the beater bar belt was 
 broken. Not wanting to take the time out to go search for a 
 replacement belt, I noticed that the belt size was very close to the 
 calamari ring size, and decided, just for laughs, to try one of the 
 defrosted calamari rings. Werll, son of a gun, it fit really well, and 
 worked just fine. The wife has been vacuuming for the past week with 
 the calamari ring as a drive belt, and it works great, except for the 
 fishy odour whenever she vacuums. I'm not ready to give up on this, 
 because the price of one belt is equivalent to whole package of frozen 
 calamari rings, but the wife is refusing to vacuum, complaining of the 
 fishy odour. I have taken her out for dinner on the Danforth, to Greek 
 restaurants serving calamari, in the hope she would get to like the 
 smell, without success, although our home now reeks of olives, oregano 
 and  dill. Any suggestions on how to make economics prevail over a 
 slight odour? Any one know of a source of spray cans of burning rubber 
 scent?
