My boss had an encounter with the local Sister missionaries yesterday. He's a single guy, Mexican, in his mid 40s, not bad looking, super personable...the little sister missionaries couldn't resist! They knocked on his door and he let them in. They offered a scripture study (he told them he's a devout Catholic and showed them his well-worn bible) Then they gave the whole "but there's more lets tell you about our other book" speech, and he told them he had another bible as well...so he went to his bedroom and brought back...the latest issue of Playboy. He told the sisters this was his other bible, and between the Catholic bible and Playboy, his life is very full and he doesn't need more religion. They couldn't get out of there fast enough! To ensure that they don't come back, he has this month's centerfold taped to his front door. That should suffice in scaring away the Jehovah's, the Moonies and any little kids trying to sell popcorn or wrapping paper.
I'm getting sworn in to City Commission after the first of the year and I would LOVE to have a city ordinance banning door to door solicitation of all kinds. Mostly because I'm tired of every little kid I don't know knocking on my door selling things I don't want, but partly to keep the darn missionaries (Jehovah's LDS and the Moonies) for bothering me in the privacy of my home. And the weird college age kids going door to door selling kleenix and paper towels (I always think they're casing my house) I know its wishful thinking...but I bet the Morg would be extremely upset if their missionaries weren't allowed to tract in town anymore =) Wishful thinking...in fact I don't think I'll accomplish anything significant, but I would LOVE for the weird kleenix kids to go away
