So, years ago (in the 80's)I worked for Radio Shack.
Back then, they offered the "Extended Service Policy" which they later renamed "Tandy Service Policy"
It was on the tags as "ESP"
So, this lady comes in to buy a new phone.
Well, we had about 50 different models, so I start narrowing it down; corded or cordless? Answering machine? etc. etc.
We finally narrow it down to one phone, and she says "What does this mean, ESP Available?"
me: "Have you ever been in the shower and the phone rings, and you're scrambling to get out of the shower before it stops ringing?"
Her: "Yes!"
Me: "Well, with ESP, you get a special ring 5 minutes before you get a phone call, which gives you time to get to the phone!"
Her: "REALLY?????" (buying it hook line and sinker)
Me: (Cracks up) "Nah.... "
Just my $.02
