Works every time; I ask them if they want a bottle water and off they go to harrass (I mean solicit) the next door neighbor.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-1436445945716634312014-09-12T22:11:28.497-04:002014-09-12T22:11:28.497-04:00My husband just says, "Do you have a business...My husband just says, "Do you have a business card?

My husband regularly reigns me in when we're in such situations... he's not too fond of my regularly telling sales associates — outright or implied — to have a nice day.Lisa @ Grandmas Briefshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969179155988148054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-2081217599501258132014-09-12T15:27:14.125-04:002014-09-12T15:27:14.125-04:00I like your idea!!I like your idea!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-4577286818351742252014-09-12T14:08:37.491-04:002014-09-12T14:08:37.491-04:00When someone approaches trying to sell me somethin...When someone approaches trying to sell me something, before they can pester me I ask, "Are you hiring?"

You could have bought a dozen of whatever they were selling (check will be in the mail this afternoon, of course), from each vendor, then given them your e-spouse's name, address, and phone number.

Never mind. ;)<br /><br />SLowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-14338908745838278312014-09-12T11:43:24.670-04:002014-09-12T11:43:24.670-04:00Why did you stay so long?
