It's just cheating, I tell ya!

Over the past few years, I've gotten into the habit of rather rapidly closing the door when various types of people come knocking. You know the ones . . . people selling magazine subscriptions, religious salvation, coupon books, court summonses, etc. I've contemplated putting up one of those "No Soliciting" signs, but honestly I don't mind it too much when the neighborhood kids come buy selling things to raise funds their school, band trips, etc. I figure in all other situations, the "Not interested " works just fine. But lately, the Mormons have been cheating. They've been sending around really cute girls. Do you realize how difficult it is to slam a door in the face of a cute, smiling girl? Damn near impossible, I tell ya. So it's just plain not fair for them to keep sending them to my house. It's dirty pool. Cheating. Not fair in the slightest.

    I had a Mormon incident - but they won't be coming to see me again (wink wink)
    The Jehovah Witnesses send cute little girls too. Its hard not to take the Watch Tower from them.

    Well, they key here is to install a peephole in the door, or put in a window next to it. That way, it will be pretty obvious if it's your brother or some salesman you've never met before.

    You can also decide which girls are the most attractive and decide whether ot open the door or not.

    I loved it when the Mormons came by: I used to have about five Mormon bibles in the house at one point. I ALMOST convinced one that a date would be a good idea but the whole Anglican thing didn't go over too well.
