Ok, fess up. How many of you were tempted to go to Goodwill, buy a bunch of cheap used clothes, and strew said articles of clothing all over the street?

...although admittedly last time the JWs came knocking I told them we were Satanists. Somehow, I think they would find they have a previous engagement on that night ...... Once the JWs showed up at my door just as I was about to shower after a few hours of sweaty yard work. They declined my invitation to wash my back while they made their pitch....

Well poop. Here I went and quit my job, ran up my credit cards and what happens? Nothing. Oh well, at least trolling the docks and picking up sailors worked out for me. By the way, the new date is October 21, 2011. http://www.ebiblefellowship.com/outreach/tracts/may21/ Yes, the lyrics really do matter. |

"Not sure if this means anything but found these in the hallway outside my neighbors apartment a little past 6:00 pm on Saturday." http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=64189&nowrap=true#1109086 (Sorry, I didn't click "Quote" on my reply.) I think it means you can have your neighbor's new TV. Yes, the lyrics really do matter. |

LMAO! Wow is all I can say. You got guts Steve! All I meant was I always wanted to answer the door naked with a boa constrictor when the JW's showed up for shock value. It has since taken a path of its own, and caused me to laugh my a__ off.

One time when they came by and asked if they could come in and discuss religion, I asked them if I could discuss physics. They left. Totally off topic SciMan, but you reminded me of my last day in LA after I graduated. Answered the door bell expecting my cab to the airport, but it was the JW. I was about to do my usual rude reply when I saw my cab turning on to the street, and got a diabolical idea. I invited the JW's in and asked them to explain their religion, in depth. About 2 minutes later the door bell rang again, and it was my cab to the airport. I told the JWs to come back next week, and then left the country. Forever. According to my ex-house mates they didn't give up on me for about 6 months. |
