Two sales guys came by to my house yesterday wanting for me to allow them to place a sign on my yard that advertises their home security. They told me that if I kept it there for eighteen months, and kept it clean and shiny they would install the home security alarm for free. It was a "two-thousand dollar value." I would then just have to pay a little over one dollar per day for the security for a minimum of three years. They were quite pushy. They also told me how there have been lots of break-ins there in the block that I live in. I know for a fact that there haven't been any. They continued on trying to use scare tactics so I came up with my own. I told them how I would have to check with the police department and my attorney to see if that would be okay to use in my house. After all "several years ago I shot and severely injured a man after I caught him breaking into my home." You should have seen the look on those guy's faces. It was priceless. They continued on and said that I was the one for this great deal and that no one else would get it. I told them to give me a couple of days to think about it, and they said the decision had to be made right away. I then told them that if that was the case I was not interested. They still continued and in my slowest Texan voice and serious looking face told them "I'm being nice and polite to you. I said I am not interested!" That's all it took. Their response: "Okay sir. We understand. Please have a great day." They had the look of fear. They thought I was going to shoot them too.
I'm still laughing my head off.

I had some Jehovah's Witness ladies come by for several Saturdays, even though I nicely told them I was not interested. The LAST time they came I just answered the door in my birthday suit!
