I wasn't pulling with all my strength, and hadn't tried slamming it.
He just sort of pushed his way through.

There was a story, years ago, about how smart people do stupid things.
The guy in the story had used his vacuum to capture a big wasp's nest.
He then realized that he had a vacuum full of angry wasps - what could
he do to kill them?
He noticed the gas oven nearby, and decided to suck in natural gas. As
he was doing this, he thought, "I wonder how much gas it will take to
reach critical mass with the electrical motor."
At which point the vacuum exploded. But it killed the wasps...
