Fun watching biking Mormons

Since 99 I've noticed Mormon biking it around this small
city of New London CT. Chain- ing their mountain bikes to the
nearest pole and go- ing door to door pasting their word. I've seen
them all year round. I even know where they get their Raleigh M 80 and
Kona Delux serviced. I seen them out my window,how can you miss two men
in their Sunday best white shirt black pants and tie can't forget the
backpack. Well I looked up and down the street for the pole supporting
their bikes. When the wife yells out what are you laughing at. I reply
they got into a car. It has been hot here 90s with between 80 and 90%
humidity. It has cooled off some 68 right now with 92 % humidity but its
only 10 am. Whats the funniest they have never knock at my door. Maybe
they should I could give them some gas cash for the 3rd person the
driver.

I have nothing against Mormons in particular, but man it annoys me to no
end when people knock on my door to sell me something. Whether it's
their religion or Amway, if I wanted to hear about it I'd seek out the
information myself. It's a sure way to get me to reject whatever they
are selling. I guess it's the earliest form of spam.
We get Mormons, Baptists, and Jahova's Witnesses on a semi-regular basis
and there seems to be no "opt out" option. I must look like I need
saving or something.

I've often considered putting a "No Soliciting" sign on my door, but it's
just so..."apartment"-ish. So I usually just don't answer. (Kinda funny
when they can hear the TV or stereo playing. :-D )

I usually just try to get a "No thanks!" out before they can get too far
into their pitch.

I like waiting for them to get a 100 yards from the house, load the kids
in the car, and take off as they walk up the driveway.

They can be fun. The ones promoting Christianity give me odd looks when I
ask them if they agree their daughters are worth only half the amount of
their sons when sold into slavery, or that the earth is square.

Back around 2001 one of them had his frame thats the
whole frame covered with black vinyl tape. When they do see go by them
on my 3 speed they address me as Sir. They do know who their master is.

They're likely to ignore it anyway, and then argue with you about
wether or not they're actually soliciting. Least, that's what they do
with me. :P

You have to have fun with them. Once a jesus freak presumed to try to
convert me while I was walking down the street. I looked her up and down, a
young thing, late teens, early 20's and oh so earnest.

I told her I was wondering about having JAY-sus save me but like having
sex.

Godgirl: Oh, but Christians are allowed to have sex!

Me: I'm not talking about, within the marital bed, once-a-month, spousal
duty sex.I'm talking about hot, dirty, sweaty, on all fours.....

I continued on for some time explaining what I meant by sex without
actually using any profanities but being otherwise explicit and graphic.

I must say I think I shook her faith in Jay-sus just a little bit.

What can I say, the devil made me do it.
