21. I have a sign
I really, really treasure my privacy. I got rid of my normal phone and just use a cell now so I don't get telemarketer calls. I also hate people that I don't want over at my house coming over - like salespeople and evangelists - especially since I've been woken from naps by Mormons three times now!

So I've put up a sign that makes me look not only anti-social but hostile to door-to-door people - especially religion. It has a graphic of an outline of a man and woman holding a bible with one of those circle-bars around/through them. Underneath, it says:

-------------
No Solicitors!

This includes but is not limited to:

Girl Scout Cookie Sellers
Home Security Salespeople
Paper Deliverers
Anyone Wanting to Tell Me Why Their Religion Is Better than Mine*


If right now you’re thinking that for some reason you’re different, and I’ll be happy to see you and learn about what you’re selling… you’re wrong.
-------------

At the bottom, it says:

-------------
* Jehovah Witnesses are exceptions only if you’re prepared to talk about Deuteronomy 18:20-22 (false prophets) in relation to certain predictions that your church elders have made that did not come true.
** Mormons pretending to be Jehovah Witnesses will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
-------------

So far, it's working, and my girlfriend and all my friends think it's pretty funny. :)
