I had a Kirby guy at my door last night

For whatever reason, I opened the door without checking first.

On my porch stood a twenty-something guy who looked like a meth freak who'd been stuffed into preppie clothes. I think that's exactly what he was.

"Sir, I'm offering FREE carpet cleanings, today only--"

He literally put his foot in the door at this point. That cracked me up. Like we were in a sitcom.

I read an online story about Kirby salespeople years ago so I knew exactly what he was pushing. Supposedly the typical turnover rate is measured in weeks for most of these guys. He looked desperate, but I wouldn't have let him in my house even if I was interested.

As he left, he explained that he ignored my NO SOLICITING sign because he was giving something away for free...:laugh:
 
"It's your lucky day! Don't mind me while I load my gun and make a call so you can get a free set of metal bracelets and a complimentary drive downtown."
