However short-term.
*BEEP*
I fell back asleep.
*BEEP*
The worst part about a low-on-power smoke detector is that it always starts beeping in the middle of the night.
My roommate and I met in the hallway and had a quick pow-wow.
Of course, we didn’t have the right kind of battery.
We took the entire thing apart.
It still beeped.
That’s how this happened.
Hey, it worked!
It was really late (or really early.)
Me: So, is there any way to shut this thing up?
Roommate: Maybe.
We stood thoughtfully.
Roommate: Maybe if we had a towel and a roll of duct tape.
*Pause*
Me: I have a towel.
Roommate: I have a roll of duct tape.
*Flurry, as we both get our items.*
Roommate: I love that you knew I wasn’t joking.
In the end, our system worked (only overnight).
Kind of looks like a Spiderman attack.
We now have a large stock of 9V batteries.
