"Carbon Monoxide Detector"

Johnny: The U.S. consumer product safety commission recommends
that every home be protected with at least one carbon monoxide
detector. It is important to have a loud alarm close to every bedroom
because carbon monoxide can travel through the heating system
and cause victims to fall into a deep sleep!

Johnny: We're only thinking of your safety.

"$96,209"

Eric and Johnny:
We took our money and into this house it all sank.
Great Western Mortagage is the one to thank!
We're 30 years in debt,
eviction is a good bet.
Ninety six thousand, two hundred and nine dollars
is what we owe to the bank!
