Adam Sandler films have a similar effect and they're slightly cheaper.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
I'd like to recount a story I posted at TechTales.com.
ReplyDeleteI had an obsolete pager whose service had expired. (or the carrier had, I forget which)
Useless as a pager but it would still get news, sports and weather headlines.
It would 'beep' when a new message was available.
I run a one-man computer shop fixing home PCs.
One of my clients cheated me out of $100 (my fault for not immedietly pocketing the payment while copying the invoice.)
Months later he had the nerve to get it serviced by me again!
I fixed it, put a fresh battery in the useless pager, set it to beep when messages were updated and hid it in a void area in the PC's front cover.
It would beep once at random time intervals even when the computer was unplugged.
Similar in concept to:

I never heard from him again.
