Saturday morning the weather was too bad to play golf.
I was bored with nothing to do.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
I opened it to find a young, well dressed man standing there who said:
"Hello sir, I'm a Jehovah's Witness."
So I said, "Come in and sit down."
I offered him a fresh cup of coffee and asked, "What do you want to talk
about?"
He said, "Beats the crap out of me. Nobody's ever let me in before."

that's a good one, beats what I do is turn the TV up and not answer the door.
Back in the day when living at home growing up, they use to come over a lot more often than they do now, and knock and knock and knock. My mom made us hide and turn the TV down so they wouldn't hear or something - never understood that at all, just don't answer the door.
I'll refrain from my opinion on them, but the lady I work with use to go out with a Jehovah Witness and after getting to know what they do, she thought it was just like a cult.

With the first wife up in Illinois when I was a LOT younger they showed up on a Saturday. 2 guys and a gal. Had them sit on my sofa and told them I'd be right back Brought out 5 gasses and ice. Went back into the kitchen and brought back a quart of beer a fifth of whiskey and a gallon of wine. While I was lighting my cigar they got up and left. Never saw them again or any others RDE SAFE.

Buddy of mine in Chicago years ago got tired of their visits. One Sat. he saw them coming down the street, hitting each house, so decided to play with them a bit. He had an old fashion quil and ink well on his desk just for decoration, so he grabbed the quil and some incense. Lit the incense, smeared some lipstick under his eyes, on his cheeks and some marks on his chest, then pulled off his clothes completely and waited....buck naked. Soon as they knocked, his girl friend opened the door and Bob stepped up, he waved the feather over the incense so it went in their direction, then started a goofy chant....all the while motioning for them to come in. He never saw them again, funny how that works.  |

My wife will talk to telemarketers and such because she doesn't want to hurt their feelings. I'm heartless though.  |
