Doorbell: (BING BONG)
Me: "Hello?"
Witnesses: "Hello, we were just in the area and we wondering if we could have a few minutes of your time."
Me: "For what?"
Witnesses: "Well, we have something here that you may be interested in."
Me: "Um, ok. So, what would you be selling?"
Witnesses: "Nothing, nothing at all. Listen, let me get to the point..."
Me: "Are you guys from the gospel christian hope up the street? I've told you i'm not interested!"
Witnesses: "Why, NO SIR. We are not affiliated with any church at all. We aren't salesman either. Now, if I may..."
Me: "Oh ok. So, your just a couple of nice people who want to talk to me then."
Witnesses: "Yes sir ... I take it you are not a religious person, Mr...?"
Me: "Thompson. No. Not at all. I don't want to have anything to do with this world's silly religions."
Witnesses: "Religion today is kindof silly isn't it?"
Me: "Yes it is. A bunch of people walking around acting like they are better than anyone else. What a pile of crap. And who might you be?"
Witnesses: "Oh, I am Charlie Hughes, and this is my wife Carla."
Me: (Shakes hands) "Pleased to meet you Mr&Mrs Hughes."
Witnesses: "Likewise. Well let me ask you this, do you read the Bible?"
Me: "No."
Witnesses: "May I ask why not?"
Me: "Because I have no interest in it. Hey, I thought you guys weren't affiliated with a church, now you are asking me about the Bible? No wait, Lemme guess, you are even more folks who have the ultimate answers right?"
Witnesses: (chuckles) "Only God has the answers sir, we only seek to discover what he desires for all of us."
Me: "Oh ok. So basically you are here to convert me to your religion, right?"
Witnesses: "Well, actually sir if..."
Me: "Listen, before we go on, I need to ask you a question."
Witnesses: "Ok sir, but may I just say something?"
Me: "No. You may not wish to speak with me afterwards."
Witnesses: (Look of bewilderment) "Ok..."
Me: "Are you two Jehovah's Witnesses?"
Witnesses: "Well, yes we are."
Me: "Well, I have unofficially disassociated myself from the Clennoms congregation."
Witnesses: "What? Wait a minute! You are a witness? We don't know of you Mr. Thompson, otherwise we would have had your address."
Me: "Listen ... I don't think you would want to associate with someone who has killed an elder."
Witnesses: (...long pause...)
Me: (Trying not to laugh my ass off for what I just said.)
Witnesses: "Ok, well sir, since you obviously are not interested in having a real discussion..."
Witnesses: (Begin walking toward my neighbor's door)
Me: "Hey! Didn't you see the NO TRESPASSING sign in front of this development? That means DO NOT COME HERE!"
Witnesses: (Knock on neighbor's door)
Neighbor: "Hello?"
Me: "Hey Monica, those guys are witnesses."
Neighbor: (Slams door)
Witnesses: "You should be ashamed of yourself."
Me: "You should get off this development before I call the cops."
Witnesses: (Begin migrating back over toward the development's exit.)
