Wait, I thought it was 26 years. No ....no ....wasn't
it 28 years?   Ummmm  .... how could that be, you
weren't licensed for .... what was it(?)  5 years?  or
was that 7 years?  And when did you install your
last system?  That had to be about 15 years ago
by now. Ya think any of this equipment has changed
since then?

(without ever having been fired).


Yeah ..... we know. You were too busy trying to "fire" at
someone else.

Uhhhh .... when did you say you last installed a system?
Let's see now .... can you tell us what the recent hardware
changes are on some of the wireless transmitters?  What
makes them a little easier to install now?  Oh .... that's
right, you don't actually ever get to "touch" the equipment
you just drop ship it and teach people over the phone how
to install a system the way it used to be installed 15 years
ago.
