Door to door salesman.

Things that don't fit anywhere else...

When I was young in my marriage, maybe a year or so I answered the door to the Jehova Witnesses. :worship: As a young girl, I could never be rude so I listened to them and gave them a small donation hoping to get rid of them. Of course they started to come back weekly. My husband Bill was working 3rd shift at the time and had just gotten to sleep. I was having a hard time, getting the women to leave this one day and they were quite loud. I complained to Bill earlier that I didnt know how to get them to stop coming. Without my knowing what he planned, one morning while they were there, he walked out from his morning sleep yelling where was his breakfast. He was stark naked. They never came back. :applause:

Now I just dont answer the door if I dont know the person.

I think it had gotten to be a game with them(the JW's)...


Reminds me of my ol' baptist upbringin'. My youth minister (who led quite a scampish life before coming to the Lord) was pretty savvy in the ways of the world.
Therefore, unlike other folks at the church, there wasn't much that would faze him. When door-knockin' time came around, he alone felt obliged to go to the local "pre-vert's" house to invite him to church.
"Woody" (don't know if that was his real name or not), would answer the screen door completely buck-naked and listen intently to the invite and sincerely promise he'd give it his full consideration. Our YM kinda made it his mission to get Woody to go to church.
It was kind of everyone's vicarious entertainment to see what was going on on the "Woody-Front".
This didn't go on for too long. Finally, the YM went over there one day, and Woody was just as warm and enthusiastic as ever, except this time he was well, making a scene of himself.
This finally fazed our YM, who was laughing as he told a couple of us "older guys". He had felt his duty of inviting ol' Woody was complete, because in all his years, including that of his recent conversion, he'd never seen anything like that! :lol:


Are ya sure he wasn't knockin on Madjack's door???? :lol:

The art of the brush as an all around dusting and cleaning tool seems to have been lost. I don't dust my house as often as I should and when I do I use a vacuum... but, when hobbying, say, in the garage or when playing with R/C cars I've learned to clean stuff with brushes when there's no compressed air available.

The Fuller Brush man had quite a selection of brushes... That would interest me today; that'd be about the only stranger I'd let in my door. He's selling something useful.

:lol:
