Cathy and Kyle were on a date when she developed abdominal pain, which prompted her to come to the ER. I examined Cathy and ordered some tests, then returned to her room to report the results. Kyle was holding her hand and apparently doing his best to be supportive.

“All of your tests are normal,” I said, “but you are pregnant.”

Kyle looked stunned, and then pulled his hand away. “Well, that's it!” he growled as he stormed out of her room.

After he left, I asked Cathy why he was so upset about the fact that she was pregnant.

She answered, “This was our first date.”

Burglar alarms are expensive, prone to false alarms, a minor deterrent at best, and not capable of doing certain things. For example, what if your wife or daughter is home alone and a thug comes to the door: can a burglar alarm protect her? No. But this innovative product can do that and more, even though its price is just over $20. You've never seen anything like it, and neither have the criminals. You owe it to yourself and your family to buy one. Find out more at www.stop-burglars.com
