So dog starts barking about the same time doorbell goes off Sat. morning

[snooper2]

This being right after setting baby down for a morning nap..Of course..

Open door while getting the dog to stop barking and of course, two ladies with bibles in their hands. They start going into their diatribe while dog is still wanting to eat them. I get the dog to lay down and nicely explain that there really are no mystical gods, I'm not interested and I've got a baby trying to sleep.

They apologize of course and are really nice, meanwhile pulling out a primer I guess you would call it. On the top it had "for atheists agnostics". I again try to explain that religion should have seen it's downfall when we broke Earth's exosphere and low and behold, no pearly gates to be found.

THEN the lady who was doing all the talking says, Oh Yeah, there's no way a ship can come back to Earth without burning up. At this point scan both of them one more time and say, "you don't believe we went to the moon do you?"


Silence...

All I could do at that point was shake my head and shut the door :rofl:

1. Boy, I would have been HUGELY pissed to have such cretins at my door

when the baby was napping.

Do you have a sign "baby napping" to put on door to avoid these idiots in the future?

7. You know, that's a good idea..

Our puppy (he's 3) (Bichon Frise) Is a great watchdog and is always scanning out the front of the house, so usually he'll start growling if somebody is in the yard, and barking if they are at the entranceway.

I'll look up some of those signs and get one though- Some things you never think of :) thanks!

3. As somebody who used to work in delivery I liked dogs and doorbells.

Quite often I would push a doorbell and hear nothing and didn't know if it was ringing somewhere. However, when I pushed a doorbell and heard nothing but then a dog started barking I knew it worked.

Tying in with the lock your door thread, I used to deliver flowers. It was great because generally everyone was so happy to see me even though I had nothing to do with sending the flowers. The flip side of "kill the messenger".

Now where I live a lot of the time people did not lock their doors. When it was cold, as it occasionally gets for 5 or so months here in Wisconsin, and nobody was home it presented me with the problem of taking the flowers back because they could not be left outside. In such cases I would try the door and just leave the plant or flowers just inside the door and I never had a complaint about it.

So one day I ring the doorbell, wait, ring it again, nothing. So I try the door and it's unlocked. So I open the door to leave the plant and I'm nearly face to face with a good sized dog not making a sound, but its teeth were bared. I couldn't back out of there quick enough and it did make me think about when I tried that again.

5. Dogs almost always love to see the pizza guy.

I remember lots of dogs switching from Intruder! bark to FOOD! bark once they smelled the pizza.

4. You'll appreciate this song from one of my favorite shows

It is in the first 30seconds of show. These guys crack me up. It is worth a watch if you hadn't watched it yet.
