No Solicitors - Please!

My newest sign says "Uninvited visitors will be processed and fed to the chickens. Can you hear them? That's their hungry noise." It made gas delivery guy laugh.

We never get soliciters, sometimes we get the aerial photographers coming round with photos of our farm but thats about it. We don't mind the Jehovah's Witnesses coming round but since we put up the No trespassing sign they haven't come up at all LOL

Wow, Mahonri, those are some great stories! You must have been quite the talker to make such a good living at it. Or maybe folks were less pessimistic back then. Waaaaay back when, most things were sold door to door - back in the days when we all got our milk and dairy products delivered to our porch. Those were nice days.

Okay, here is my sign. What do you think?

I think if you printed those, you'd make quite a bit.

give it right back to them! keep some worthless thing (book, magazine, etc) handy. whn they get into their speech, stop them and tell them you're selling (whatever) and you're so glad they stopped by!

Well, at our old house we had 12 roosters that were very good for keeping strangers at bay

They would attack people they didn't know... Boy, I loved those birds! They chased a very large man off our property once - that was GREAT! At our new farm, our 2 large and very ferocious sounding dogs work wonders... Especially when they are trying to dig through the door to get to the person (to sniff and lick - but we don't tell!!). We only had the bible people at our door once

Below is a pic of one of the attack roosters!

Aha, get this- when Jehovah's Witnesses come a knockin', my neighbor answers the door NAKED! Hee Hee! They only came to his house 2 or 3 times!

I can't stand the grocery store solicitors. They think since you're at the grocery you must have money to waste. One day I went to Kroger to get a few things and this whole baseball team was swarming everyone who came out the exit. They wanted money for new uniforms. But the thing is they were all wearing new looking uniforms! Everyone was giving them money just so they would leave them alone. I told them I didn't have any money to give them and you would have thought I cussed them out.
