Figuring that the bulk of burglaries happen only during certian times of day we can offer discount monitoring only during those peak hours.
(Man this is a great gig. Only have to work 8 1/2 hrs a week. Wish I had thought of htis years ago. I wonder if I can get that wino I saw down on the river to stay sober and cover for me next week so I can take a vacation?)
Oops. Did I type that out loud?
Oh yeah, well, well, well .... I can give you *** NINE *** hours for the same price.
AH HAH! So waddaya think about THAT?
Yah well...I got a betta idear...monitoring on demand...install HID reader to read credik cards at the clients...pay by the hour or even the minute!

Funny stuff. In Philip K. Dick's novel "Ubik", household objects are endowed with sentience and demand payment each time they are used: a nickel to open the door, a quarter to use the shower, a dime to get food out of the refrigerator. When the protagonist Joe Chip tries to leave his "conapt" without paying, the door threatens him with a lawsuit!.
Well here's a signal for ya, at no charge. _ |0| |-| _|-|_ _ |0|0|0|0| | | | | |
Sorry ...... just couldn't resist.
Yea? Well I charge by the signal!
Get a 900 or 976 number and charge by the signal

Sorry is indeed the word whatever that is
That's my Help line for locals....$45 per minute and I'll answer any stupid question you got.
Example call at 3am Sunday night: Hi, I have an alarm you guys installed in my house 10 years ago. We're not hooked up to your service. *Your* alarm is chirping and says Low Battery on the keypad. What does that mean?
The next step they usually take *before* calling for help is pry open the panel (because they lost the last 6 keys I mailed them (for free) is to rip all the wiring apart. Then I get the call that: *you* need to come out and repair *your* alarm for free because it kept me up all night.
Yah...a 900 number would be great !! Then I could keep them on the phone for about an hour and yes... go out and repair the panel for *free* :-)
Yeah, I know.
But I just thought I'd take a chance anyway .... that you'd actually know what the word meant.
It also means, RTFM.....:))
