Welcome ravenranter!
  Anyway, it really is too bad noone has come up with something that not only sounds like a barking dog, but can duplicate the solid thump against the door made by an agitated Doberman. I've had kids come to my door selling magazines to fund a halfway house (prefer making a donation after checking out charity). I had one girl selling cookies who wasn't from our neighborhood whose mom was driving her around. The strangest one was a woman whose meat truck 'broke down' and as a result was 'forced to make a deal' on the contents. Our old house was a few blocks from a Kingdom Hall and the Jehovah's Witnesses did pay us a visit. I was perfectly happy to discuss religion with them the first time they showed up. They never showed up again.

Right after I moved back to St. Louis 2 years ago, some guy showed up at my parents' house pulling a similar scam...in my case, the people that originally "bought" the meat were "unable to pay for it." He seemed awfully desperate to unload the shit...probably because it was already spoiled or close to it. |
