I got a knock on the door by a census taker, the conversation went something like this.
opening door, “What do you need?”
Census taker “ I am with the Census Bureau I need to ask you some questions.”
Me: “go away”
Census taker: Sir you are required to answer my questions for the census since we don’t have your form”
Me: No one in this house wants to talk to anyone from the government.”
Census Taker: Sir you are required....
Me: Get off my porch” door slams.
LOL
I have never participated in the census in my adult life.
