But Will They Water the Plants?

I spotted this on my way to work earlier this week:

I appreciate the direct, no-nonsense approach. I also enjoy the way the slogan looks like something they got tired of saying over the phone, so they plastered it on the van and hoped people would stop asking dumb questions. It's not "YES! We can monitor your alarm!" It's "Yes, we can monitor your alarm." Never before has a full stop carried with it so much apathy and world-weariness. "Yes, we can monitor your alarm. No, we can't let your dog out to widdle. LOOK DO YOU WANT YOUR ALARM MONITORED OR NOT?"
