The last time I answered my door without knowing who it was, it was a smiley, happy twentysomething trying to hand out left-wing propaganda. I took it (I knew I'd throw it out and thus end their canvassing sooner) and then she asked me to sign a petition. I politely declined, she kept smiling, then commented about the latest evil, fracking.

I decided to have some fun: "Oh, I think fracking is a great idea."

The smile left her face. "Why?"

"Because it furthers energy independence and will eliminate wars where our kids blood is shed for oil."

She frowned, and walked away with a curt "thank you."

I was now smiling - "Have a nice day!"

That’s a good one.

It’s not easy to come up with stuff on the spur of the moment. My hat is tipped to you.

You need to think of the corollary to those who would want to talk people into getting vaxxed and post it so others can steal it.

Let me try:

Me: “Oh, I have Assochondrophibia and only have a month to live anyway. I’m afraid my life insurance policy won’t pay out if I get a vax that is only approved for emergency use and I want to make sure my kids can pay off this beautiful house.”

Them: “But don’t you want to protect others?”

Me: “Aren’t they protected if they are vaxxed? I mean, it does work, doesn’t it?”

Them: “Um, well, um. Variants, there could be variants.”

Me: “I’m not going to live long enough to get or give variants. Now please stop wasting one of my last nice evenings and be on your way.”

You can probably come up with better.
