HOMOSEXUALS KEEP TRYING TO RECRUIT ME
INTO THEIR LIFESTYLE, I kid you not. Why just last night there was a GROUP of them at my door preaching the values of the gay lifestyle and offering me toasters and savings bonds as incentive. THE NERVE!!! :7

9. ROFL...
If you want to shut them up in a hurry, just say in as friendly a tone as you can, "Thanks anyway, we don't believe in god." It is worth it just to see the looks on their faces, but it definitely ends any religious approach in a hurry.

5. Savings bonds too?
I guess the recruitment efforts are more difficult in the Dallas area. Here in Austin, all they offer are calendars. I guess all those impressionable kids away from home for the first time are easy pickins. :P

Offering a vegitable steamer or a fruit dehydrator? Either those or some help picking a new color for my living room? If so, send them over. I'm willing to negotiate. ;-)

but I'd have to be gay for two years. Once I told them I was married and straight, they didn't call me back anymore.

24. They obviously have no idea how to marketeer...
They should send lesbians to recruit the guys and gays to recruit the ladies.

Gotta know what your demographic wants.

Edited on Wed Sep-24-03 01:11 PM by Touchdown
We had to stop that in the 70s. We got tired of looking at the frumpy dresses the new lesbians were wearing, and those awful Lee painter pants with the butt crack exposed on what looked like potentially great young gay men. They pulled that crap just to get out of serving our duty! (Sigh) Ahh, the good ole days.

Edited for spelling

In order to get the toaster oven you can't just pass the written. You've got to ace the oral.
