Once or twice in the last thirty years I've had to answer the door, disheveled, and the words are you f**king kidding me? usually sends them on their way.

I have a friend that raises and trains GSDs and he had a couple of Witnesses that persisted on coming in to his home. He finally relented. He was on his way to work and they insisted they wouldn't take much of his time...yeah, right. Eventually, (they were sitting on his couch) he put his Alpha dog in a sit, stay, watch, guard mode and left for work. If the guests so much as moved the dog would pin its ears back and bare its teeth. They sat there until his wife got home from work, 2 hours later, and released the dog. They never returned, word got out to the rest of the church and they were never bothered again.

Mormons are always polite, neatly dressed, usually cute and yes, take no for an answer. The city I live in doesn't allow anyone, religious or business to go door knocking without a permit from city hall which means they've had a background check and paid a fee. Otherwise we go after them, cite them and kick them out. Makes it nice.

Love it!!!
