Hmm... quite a few years back, I got a visit from the Jehovah's Witnesses, and I explained quite calmly that I would prefer NOT to have them visit EVER AGAIN.

I thought there was some court ruling somewhere that said they needed to keep what is basically a "do not call list" like telemarketers.

Because since I made that request, they have not knocked on my door even though I've seen them walk through the neighborhood recently, knocking on everyone else's door but mine.

Can't hurt to ask.

But if that's dirty, the Slayer t-shirt will do.
God listens to SLAYER.

We live in Sayville, and last weekend three kids (who you could tell definitely did not belong in Sayville) with the plastic bins selling candy came to our door! Very annoying! Usually you see them outside stores trying to sell the candy for some bogus charity. My husband told them to get lost. It made me a little nervous....what the hell are they doing in Sayville!!

Time to invest in a shotgun. It is hard to mistake the sound of a shell being cycled into the chamber. That should keep unwanted people off your property..lol.

They are in Sayville because some dirtbag who is too LAZY to get a real job drove them out there to be child labor beggars.
