| 231. My wildest son, when he lived here, did something um,, more effective |
|
I arrived home one afternoon and he asked "Did you see that van tearing off down the street just now?"
"No," i replied.
He started laughing, then proceeded to tell me he had spotted the Jehovah's Witnesses coming up the drive so he stripped and answered the door buck naked with the 12-gauge in his hands. A man had knocked on the door, but he backed away and as some of his women friends were getting out of the van he screamed "Don't get out!" and he jumped in the van and tore off out of our lane.
"You didn't!" I said, embarrassed.
"Oh yes i did," he said. "And I did it last time they showed up,too, except I wasn't holding the gun. They didn't come back for two years, Bet it'll be five years this time!"
I was mortified but I had to laugh anyway.....we live in the woods and don't get too many visitors. Most of us like it that way. But my son took it to a whole other level...
Not advocating this as a tactic, but it still cracks me up when i think about the look that guy must have had on his face...I bet now we won't be any of the 144,000 who are going to heaven....damn!
