The Mormon Patrol came by the house today knocking on the door (from the top of the stairs I could see their white shirts, ties and Bibles). So I grabbed a piece of paper from my printer and went downstairs. After I opened the door and they started their spiel, I said I didn't have any time right now but do you have a flyer I can have? They did so I said "Here's we can trade" and gave them the page from my printer. Then the guy made my day by saying "But this is blank?" Allowing me to seal the deal with "Yeah, I'm an Athiest!" as I was closing the door. I couldn't tell if they got the joke because I needed to get into another room for my laugh.

I can't believe that setup actually worked!!! ;D

Here's the cartoon where I got the idea:

that's great!!!!

We had Jehovah's witnesses this week. Two adopted kids and a mom. The girl, about 10, opens with, "Would like to wake up in the morning with happy thoughts everyday?" I WISH the mom had come by herself without the kids, because I wanted sooooo badly to retort, "Me and the wife get our fucking on in the morning time so I wake up everyday with a happy thought that I don't think Jesus can top."

But because they had the kids I smiled and took their pamphlet and promptly threw it away after I closed the door politely in their face.

So then I talk to my 11 year old and put her in the situation just to see how she would handle it. She's never dealt with Jehovah's Witnesses before so we had a little education time....to which she was real quick to respond, "Oh the believe in Jesus." So she asked what were typical responses and I gave her 2 options"

1. Say nothing. Take their literature. Close the door. Throw literature away.

2. Tell them to get bent.

She picked option 2. She's apparently less tolerate of the religious than her salty old man.

My best friend growing up still has me beat though... He was the top salesman for a piano and organ place three years in a row (in the nation). One day these two Mormons came to the door selling religion and, instead, he sold them an organ for their church! Now THAT'S working it! ;D
