Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive
double-pane energy-efficient kind, and today I got a call from the
contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been
completed a whole year ago and I still hadn't paid for them.
Helloooo........... Just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am
automatically stupid. So, I told him just what his fast-talking sales guy
had told me last year -- that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for
themselves! Hellooooo? "It's been a year!" I told him.
There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up.
He never called back. I bet he felt like an idiot.

I'd have you publicly flogged if you hadn't enjoyed that so much the last time.

Nope, just smirked.

Are they also high impact?
Seriously - have you noticed any sizable reduction in energy usage?
