Hi friends! Billy Jays here!

Looking up at a boring roof every day?

Sure you are! What could be less boring than a nice, flat, perfectly-placed roof?

Well, not much!

Introducing Ripple Yer Roof!

Imagine how fun it will be to look up again at that roof and see the gentle sway of a Caribbean bay!

Or the gentle, expanding circles of a pond's skin as you skip a flat rock across the surface!

Yes, Ripple Yer Roof! will change your life!

It will certainly change your roof!

Just think how proud your neighbors will be to know that you have the most interesting roof in the area!

So call now! And if you call in the next 20 minutes, cause we can't do this all day, we will throw in a can of flat, black spray paint for that white roof plumbing penetration! Now nothing, that is NOTHING, will divert anyone's attention from their special view of Ripple Yer Roof!

You will almost be as proud as I! We are so proud to offer this, our newest product of the Billy Jays line, that if you just share with a friend that you are purchasing it, we will ship it to you free!

So CALL NOW!

Our new fantastic roofing product will send a ripple, um, tingle up your leg every time you pull into the driveway!

So call now and one of our roofing specialists will happily take $33.33 from you and send Ripple Yer Roof! um, to you! And don't worry, if you are nice, and just because we are ALWAYS nice, we will double your offer so you can Ripple Yer Roof! on the front AND the back!! Why treat only your neighbors on the front side of your house when you can treat those to your rear too!?

And we'd love to cover your rear! So why wouldn't you call now!?

Take it from me, Billy Jays, and never be bored with your roof again! Get real! Get Ripple Yer Roof!

This production of Billy Jays has been brought to you by Lotsa Nuts! When you feel like a snack, eat Lotsa Nuts!

Because you are what you eat!

Jay -- Very funny -- what exactly, causes this ripple effect? I have seen it before, but not quite to this extent.

Billy - I'm glad to see someone offering this product again. When I was building houses, I always charged extra for "rippling" the roof.

Billy,

Yesterday I saw a really cool Bowl Shaped roof, do you have a special product that will give us this wonderful effect?

Tish - I HAVE NO IDEA!! This was on a house as I was driving by and just then Billy called and, well, here you have it!

John - the old is the new, again.

Bob - geez, don't send a picture to Billy or he will start selling that! Bottom Yer Bowl! or something like that...

I have seen several roofs like this over the years. Not too pretty to look at.

So is this special effect patented? Don't want to get into trouble using the idea.

Jim - I will pass that along! Billy will be so proud!

Charlie - I don't think it is patented. But it certainly is one of his best, and possibly most popular, products!

Mike - think Cancun. Cozumel. St. Thomas. St. Maartens. Cabo. Cool breezes. Calm bay. Gentle waves...

I don't understand it. I had to pay extra for that because the salesman told me it was the best way to keep water from staying on the roof. Was he lying to me?

Ed - Ripple Yer Roof! is both functional and elegant! Why go flat anymore?

And once you go ripple, you don't go back... Billy

Debbie - laugh you say? Why certainly you remember from MBA school that 1/2 the cost of anything is due to marketing. And who does it better than Billy? There are 20 mountains in North America higher than Pike's Peak. How many can you name?

See?

Sally - sure sounds boring to me! I think we can work on David... Billy

Hey Jay, now you know you are what you eat...? I actually saw this in a neighborhood when I stopped by for another inspection. Gotta see the Billy Jays potential from the start, right? He gets right on stuff!

Valerie - I'm feeling a little disco coming on:

Shake, shake, shake,

Shake your shingle... shake your SHINGLE!
