Don't they have the multiple pulse count selector??  2 through infinity
(the latter setting would ensure they *never* went off).  Whoops...  I'm
confusint that with the AlarmFarce "pet proof" detector.  Pulse count?
What's that?   We'll just mount the sucker 3 and a half feet from the
floor and turn it upside down.  Then we'll stick a sign out front with a
big red line on it.  "Notice:  Burglars must be taller than this line to
break in.  Caution, we will use threatening language if you do (in both
official languages)."
