Jehovah's Witnesses callers will soon ring doorbells
So I can look forward to seeing "Prince" at my doorstep with a copy of the "Watchtower"....

It only takes a few choice words and Jehovah Witness never comes back!

Hey, I scared 'em off. When I lived in Sacramento, they used to prowl my neighborhood every saturday at 7am. I finally made certain to be ready. I answered the door, dressed only in a pair of thigh high leather boots and holding a paddle. I said, "Oh, you aren't here for an appointment with Mistress Xenia?" They never came back.
You don't need a law to keep them away. You just need to be creative.

Make sure you have a Beer in your right hand and KY Jelly in your left hand as well. That should make a laugh or two....

I don't see why you couldn't. I did.

The law allows any one to come to your door and ring the bell or knock the door in hopes someone will answer. You can choose to ignore a solicitation. The law protects your rights there also.

I'm beginning to see a wonderful upside to this door-to-door racket...
To: evolved_rage
Gee, they didn't seem that excited about it. ;-)

Wonder how offended they'll be if I answer my door naked?How offended will you be if they point and laugh?
To: evolved_rage
Strangers bypass us for some reason.

Show up on someone's doorstep uninvited, you get what you get. I don't care if you are selling religion or brushes. If I didn't ask you to come buy, I am not going to be very nice to you. Especially at 7am on a Saturday.

You would think he he'd have worked a way around that by now -
