A couple of weeks ago, I was in the nearby Lowes.

A young man approached me “Excuse me sir, can I have a moment of your time? I’m selling subscriptions to magazines so that I may win a college scholarship...”

“Uh, dude? I’m SURE you’re not supposed to be soliciting in here.”

“Sir, my boss told me to just switch between here and the IKEA.”

“Boss???”

How many people subscribe to having paper magazines delivered to their houses by the Postal Service anyway? I’d rather they offer to recondition my buggy whips.

This almost sounds like some new scam sweeping the country.

I can’t remember the last time I had a subscription to something printed on paper.

No. Stopping people dead in their tracks with a question is a highly effective technique. Time of day? Spare change? A few survey questions? Caught off guard, they freeze. Easy pickins' from there...Magazine subscriptions? Get off my lawn.
