The best was the cute little blond girl (maybe 20 or so) who was selling some sort of children's book subscription or something like that. She showed up at the door, in the middle of summer, wearing bikers shorts, a very skimpy top that had buttons that had been opened up about half way to her belly button, and had her hair all let down over her shoulder. My wife answered and about a minute into the conversation when she realized my wife was about to close the door she said "Maybe I could talk to your husband?". 
My wife let me talk for a minute or two then told me we had to go  |
back before I had the farm completely fenced I would get the occasional VERY determined salesmen (and missionaries). one particular time it was one of those frozen foods salesmen. it was towards the end of the day and he was trying to convince me that I should buy what was left on the truck so he didn't have to go unload. he would NOT take no for an answer. finally one of my Newfies came around the corner carrying the leg bone of a steer. in exasperation I pointed to the dog and the bone and said; "that's what happened to the LAST salesman that wouldn't take no for an answer". he left. quickly.
the next part is pretty cool... I relayed this story at the butcher where I got the leg bones while a lot of people were in there shopping. the butcher immediately sold out of bones, and the next time I came in they gave me a free roast in appreciation
