| Spam at your front door
Can we extend the definition of spam to people who ring your doorbell twice and knock for 2 minutes at 6:30am on sunday morning trying to sell you firewood?
I got two of those this last sunday. I generally just tell them we don't need it, but that early on a sunday must be worthy of more than just a negative answer. |

I love the morons that ignore the no soliciting signs and do the same thing. I had more than a couple door to door salesmen I had to point this fact out to. In addition, the people trying to "save" me by distrubuting bibles and religious literature should also stop doing so and interrupting me. It doesn't happen often, but often enough to be annoying and a waste of my time.

If anyone approaches my quarters at that hour Ill get the pleasure of watching the dogs chew them up before the police arrive. |

My dad had a better idea. He is a military man if that tells you anything. He was thinking about building a couple pillboxes to the sides at the end of his driveway. In each pillbox, he has no soliciting signs with the same warnings along with a couple M60 machine guns. At least, that would be his dream setup, besides having the guns automated and a gate so he can shoot solicitors without having to walk down there and man the gun himself.

Actually, a co-worker suggested a chalk outline on the porch with a couple Jehovah Witness brochures lying next to it. Maybe some police scene tape as icing.
