I install alarms for a living, I was working in North Carolina years ago, installing an alarm in a doctor’s home in the historical district in downtown New Bern. The regulations are very strict and homeowners can’t even paint until they get the color approved from the historical society. Well my brother and I were installing a wireless alarm in this home, it’s a 3 story house and my brother was in the 1st floor closet mounting the panel and I was on the 3rd floor mounting a smoke detector. It had been a particularly bad day and we were both at a breaking point.
Well, all of a sudden I hear him holler “help me, help me, Jerry, help me, oh lord help me” I starting running down the stairs and probably missed an entire flight of stairs trying to get to him. Got to the 1st floor and he’s laying in the closet, rolling around laughing so hard he’s crying.
we laughed for hours and every time things started going wrong one of us would holler “help me, oh lord, help me” and it would take the tension out of the situation.
