Remember those obnoxious "Big Mouth Billy Bass" novelty gifts that everybody had? I just threw one out when we were clean out my father-in-laws house & amazingly it still worked. Well, one of those chatty mechanical fish saved the day at a local bait & tackle shop in Rochester recently, by scaring off a would-be robber. Apparently the burglar smashed open the door of the shop and knocked the fish on the floor triggering it's motion-activated rendition of "Take Me To The River," thus startling the thief and he/she turned tail and ran off without taking a thing. Who would of thought that "Big Mouth Billy Bass" would ever be useful as a watchdog... er, watchfish?
