The girlscouts is a rip off, I remember when GS Cookies were the size of spare tires, now they are the size of a quarter

Girlscouts? Definently not!
But, some of the religion pushers are very persistant. You can tell them "I already belong to a church" - they keep talking. "I'm Catholic, and happy with it" - they keep talking. "I'm not interested" - they keep talking. I think religion is more deep rooted than someone at your door trying to give you pamphlets. "I'm not interested" means I'm not interested!

What I meant was: Remember when you would go back to your elementary school and ask did the building shrink because it used to be so much bigger? couldn't it be the same thing with the GS cookies?

I usually answer the door with a dress made of various women and eyeliner while playing Goodbye Horses.. they promptly leave.

Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb: It rubs the lotion on its skin. It does this whenever it's told. Catherine Martin: Please mister, let me go! My family will give you anything you want! Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb: It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

But then, the best part follows... "Put the lotion in the basket!" And then she sees the old finger nails on the well and she screams and then he goes "ahhhh" all weird-like

Dumb Luck is all it was, and pretty much killed it for anyone else selling at my door.

New kid at the door yesterday, selling MAGAZINES! I asked if his company was in Vegas, No it was in Florida. I told him the Vegas company ruined any chance of him selling to me. He offered an ID, and to show me his reciept book, I told him that was the same pitch the vegas kid used and that he should try another line of work/fundraising.....

They got my husband the other day. The ones from FL. Know I have to send the reciept back to get the checks back. Its funny because my husband usually says no to everyone I'm the sucker they always get not him.

Had a kid stop by around 1:30 in the afternoon the other day. Fortunately I was on the phone in teleconference for work and couldn't talk. I told him to come back later but he never did. Not sure if he was one of the Magazine kids or not. I just wanted to know what a kid who looked like he was in high school was doing going door to door in the early afternoon.

This kid looked WAY too polished & practiced to be a rookie kid on a fundraiser to me .
