If Mrs Araiza was still with us, I would obtain one of these, place it on her night stand and wait for the scream.

Public Service Announcement - there's a copy of Laurel and Hardy's "Big Business" on YouTube. An attempt to sell a Christmas Tree to Fin leads to 18 minutes worth of their "no-no, I insist, after you" escalating destruction routine. It's one of their greatest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6SE...
