You know, it's ideas like this that make people rich... Kinda like the dude that invented the drink umbrellas.

Boy-oh-boy, I could've used one of these devices for my ex mother-in-law. She was meeean! --Nancy

For those who asked: detection range 14 miles!!! LOL This happens to be mounted on the wall at the top of my winding staircase leading up to the bedroom. And, yes... I added the two buttons on the right and the accompanying text. This is probably not one of my best images technically speaking but, maybe my funniest? :-) The idea here was just to have fun and make you guys smile... not to offend any of you Mother-In-Laws.

Funny idea, nice execution, Mark. Just curious, did you happen to try this shot with a dark background, by any chance? I realize this mechanism is probably mounted on the ceiling, so I don't know how feasible it would be to even try a different background. Was just wondering. BTW, what's the detection range on this thing?---Deb

Hey I'd buy one if really did make one that works! LOL. Nice job.

I'm glad to see there's a market for such a product. lol By now, I was expecting the chairperson of Mother in laws against early warnting systems to be contacting me...
with a voodoo doll of me in hand. LOL Hey, I'm just trying to supply the market with something in demand here :-) Mark J

Mark, Really neat idea. When do they go on sale, I am in the market for one.

Perhaps the funniest thing I have ever seen on the Internet!

What's it's range? Really, what's it's range? Jim/Shutter

Can I order one via the internet ? What is the price ? ... So funny, still makes me wonder : do the screaming kids keep her away ? And what really does the panic button do ? Good one. Willem
