Napco's RP1-CAe2 keypads have a programmable system ready
message.  Most dealers leave it at the standard "System Ready"
but you cab change it.  After we installed a new P9600 system in
my church many years ago I was demonstrating the capabilities of
the system to one of the board members.  I set the message to
something other different.

Unfortunately, I forgot to change it back.  Early the next
morning a sweet lady from the congregation who volunteered to
clean the church each week showed up as usual.  She disarmed the
system with the code the pastor gave and saw "Attention Burglar"
Second line: "Go ahead. Make my day".

She read, "Attention Burglar", panicked and dialed 911.  I'm not
sure of the details but I think she told them there was an
intruder in the building.  The cops were not amused.
Fortunately, the pastor shared my sense slightly wicked of humor.
