Who cares about clean chimneys

PreS – Happy April Fools! This is a true story :)

…

I had our chimney swept recently.

Two women clad in sooty charcoal woolies scrubbed 16 feet of galvanized steel pipe, 8" in diameter.

...

They were here for 20 minutes and left a bill for $198.

That's $660 per hr or $3.90 per sqft.

...

Had the company owner asked me last month if I wanted my chimney swept, I would have said, "No thanks, I don't think I need that."

But instead, my neighbor, whose house is a twin to ours, recounted to me with a degree of animation his chimney fire and the down-draft flames pouring into his living room.

He said, "I don't think you want to be worried about a chimney fire."

Darn straight, I don't!

...

I didn’t buy a clean chimney.

I didn't buy my chimney swept.

I didn't buy my chimney swept by the hour.

I didn't buy my chimney swept by the square foot.

...

I bought,

"Stop worrying about a chimney fire every winter night."

“Stop picturing down-draft flames pouring into your living room.”

Not worrying about flames in my living room is well worth $198.

...

What are your people (actually) buying?

It might not be clean books.
