I have mentioned before how disappointed I was that in the years that I have been in business, the witnesses have done their business territory around me, but don't call on my place of business. Now, they have no idea who I am, so they have no reason not to come.
Well, yesterday they came. What sucks is that I was not there! My employee talked to them. Got a couple of mags, though they were back issues. Appartently they said that they will come back. We'll see.
Damn! I could have had fun!
It's really not as much fun as you might expect. I used to wait on 'em to show up jus' like a spider. I was gonna leap upon 'em and dazzle 'em with my superior logic and my inside knowledge of what they'd been up to.
And then they came by one day and it only took a few seconds to realize that the lights were on but no one was home. Logic was useless. No response to logic. Like hitting someone's knee witha rubber hammer and it don't jump. Just a dull-eyed stare and maybe a little drool.
If what you say to them doesn't resonate with what they already think, it just doesn't register. They have some canned answer they run through their synapses which acts like a sort of Mr. Clean for the Brain and when they leave, they don't even remember what you said to them.
Too bad they have legs. Otherwise, they could be actual Muppets.

Maybe it wouldn't be too fun........ some are so pathetic that it would be more trouble than it is worth. Who knows, we'll see what happens.
Well Freedom96,
I recieved a call at work on my cell phone from my wife. She has been in this country only 12 years and does not understand the different groups that go house to house. She knows not to answer the door to strangers, so she waited till they left the steps and called me. She said there was a man and woman and she had a big bag. She then asked if they were Mormons. (Last time she called she said there were 2 young men outside that looked like funeral directors!) I then explained that Mormons are usually young men with black suits. These 2 must be JW's and I asked her to look outside the door. As she put down the phone it realized that this is October and tract month. Low and behold she started reading "Would you like to know about the bible?". Yup those were them I said.
As much as I love my wife, I get a kick out her broken English and watching others trying to communicate with her. She actually has fun too! It took me years to understand her! My dream is to sit in the other room and listen to a couple of JW's old ladies pull their hair out in frustration and run out the house, while my wife runs after them yelling "Me no understand! Me no understand".
Ha ha, boy I am bad.
All I gotta say, is that we gotta have fun!
If we don't, we are going to be very miserable.
