At that point I would have screamed bloody murder and threatened to call the police to report a breaking and entering crime in progress.

Yeesh! What a couple of a-holes! :rolleyes:

I knew a Methodist minister who used to look forward to Jehovah’s Witnesses popping by on boring Saturday afternoons.

And I once had a Hare Krishna in Covent Garden give _me_ money after a bit of a conversation with him.

5 years of lurking and that’s the first time I’ve had to dry my monitor off! (fortunately it was only water)

My answer to the question “Do you belive in god?” asked by a SO’s mother was  
_Which one?_ I then proceded to rattle off a list of religions. That shut her up.

When I was in college, many years ago, I worked at a coffee shop with a friend named Steve. He was constantly having attractive women come up to him and give him their phone number wanting him to call them for a date. He must have dated 2 dozen women in the two years we worked together.

During that time, I was constantly having attractive women come up to me and…  
ask me to bible study. 😕 Did I _look_ like I needed to be saved or something?

Dude, I thought you knew that “bible study” was code for panty fillow fight?

Or you could have just said, “But bad Indian girls are much more fun.” 😉

Happened to me once. My response was “Yes, but I only got 2 1/2 percent interest.”
