Including the neigbors telling you that your house is on fire?  |
What? The Branch Davidians on knocking on doors, too?  |
At least David Koresh finally quit smoking!
(sorry.. I dont know why I do these things.. it might be genetic..)
The funniest encounter I ever had with door-to-door proselytizers was many years ago when a "Hare Krishna" (dont know what else to call them) rang my doorbell..
The Hare Krishnoids always began their proselytation with "We have a free gift for you!" while holding out this huge book (I believe it is called Bhagavad-gita ) that is very colorfull with interesting pictures and such.. and they never give you the book.. the free gift is the knowledge they give you on how to obtain such a book yourself... something along these lines..
Anyways, a friend of mine answered the door when one of the krishnidians came to proselytize. "We have a free gift for you!"... my friend says THANK YOU!! grabs the book and slams the door shut...
I swear I nearly wet my pants.. couldnt catch my breath for several minuets.
Meanwhile the krishnite is pounding on my door furiously because he has lost his bait, so my friend opens the door again and recieves a blast of invectives from the krishnite who is screaming that he (my friend) had stolen his book..
My friend tosses the book out the door and starts yelling at the guy that if he was not offering the book as a free gift he should not tell people that he was offering it as a gift.. and then slams the door again.
I tell ya .. this was the most amusing afternoon I had had in a long time! :rotfl:
