Some years back, up in Minnesota, we were approached by a guy who claimed he was representing a whole-home security system company, and that he could install such a system in our home for HALF OFF THE USUAL PRICE. The kicker was that he was in town only for that day, and we would have to act on it immediately or lose our chance.

I remember replying, very seriously; "I HAVE security. .38 caliber security. My wife, too".

He left VERY quickly.
Excellent! I'll borrow this one, if you don't mind.
