They Did Windows? Too Well!

The new window washers were doing a very thorough job on the big windows at the branch office of the financial institution. There was a highway right out front, and mud and dirt had been kicked up and caked on parts of the windows. They were paying particular attention to getting all that dirt off. They even used a razor, being careful to scrape all the stuff off the windows without chipping the paint on the frame. That night when the manager tried to set the alarm to go home, it wouldn't set, no matter how many times they tried.

Then they discovered what was the matter.

Seems the window washers had scraped all the foil alarm off from around the edges of all the windows! But the windows were nice and clean!
