Nice small appliances you got there, friend. It’d be a shame if something happened to them.

I mean, I know if me and Vito here had such fancy things to plug into to the wall, we’d wanna be real careful about keepin’ them good and, you know, fancy-like. You worked so hard to get them, after all. So if something like, say, an errant power surge were to come along completely randomly and not at all planned by outside forces, I bet some of those items would be in a world of hurt, huh, buddy? Yeah, I bet they’d be hurtin’ real bad.

But, as you might have guessed when we arrived, we are not just two good lookin’ stereotypes just here to amuse you with our hypothetical situations. We also happen to be in the business of “protection,” if you get my meaning. Yeah, that’s it, surge protection. You see, we represent a very powerful company that you might have heard of in the neighborhood, eh? “Philips” ring a bell? That’s right. Now, my brother and I, as his most trusted Philips 6-Outlet Surge Protector, have been sent here to make you an offer of assistance. Basically, you pay us a small “fee,” and, Vito and I, we come to your house and protect your small appliances with our 1,000 Joules Rating. All you gotta do is plug us into a grounded, three-prong AC outlet and BLAM! You’ve got power blockage to everything you’ve connected, be it audio systems, printer/scanners, etc. Plus, Mr. Philips is willing to offer you a $100,000 equipment warranty for the life of both of us. Ain’t that something?

Sure, sure. You wanna think it over. That’s fair, don’t you think, Vito? Of course, it is. Don’t think on it too long, though, buddy. We got this lightning rod out in the car, see. Maybe it’ll end up attached to your electrical meter, maybe it won’t. Who knows what could happen, really, circumstances being what they are?
