This is a Scam!!! :)

[Savas]

It's that time of year again.

Apparently there's a new scam going about and I'd thought I'd warn you folks so you can be prepared.

It's called;

"THE TICK SCAM"

These people go knocking on random people's doors and say they're;

"Here to inspect you for exposure to ticks. Ticks carry Lyme disease which can be very dangerous, so we need to inspect you to be sure you don't have any on you."

They then ask you to strip naked and spin around in the door.

So if someone asks you to do this;

DON'T!

IT IS A SCAM!!!

You guys are so lucky. We don't get LDS showing up on our doorsteps around here.

If I had LDS showing up on my door at regular intervals, I'd make a total party of it. I'd decorate the house, set up "situations".
Savas answers the door wearing only a dog collar and carrying a "Go 49'rs!" pennant.

Tells them; "Yes, this is an EXCELLENT time to discuss religion. Let me just unhandcuff the others and we'll make a bash of it!!!" :->

One time I saw a neighbor guy go out his house in nothing but his underware. If I remember he was yelling at his dog. Yeah funny...  I haven't seen anyone go out in nothing but their B-day suit... Supposidly when I was in college right outside the campus someone was running around.... Darn I missed it...

One time my sister hid in her room when someone rang the doorbell. She thought they were JW's or Mormans.  She said some time she wanted to answer that she is a Satanist and see what reaction she gets. I don't know if she's tried that or not.

I know this is off the topic but I think God has to have a sense of humor.  Look at all the "unsual" names we've given our cats and dogs - and folks who go to class and forget to put on their pants.

Good to hear you house, feed and clothe your daughter   = )

I really thought you were going to say she'd gone without her pants.  My college roommate did that once--finally noticed the breeze as she rode her bicycle to class, and came back for them.

I'm probably digressing from the topic just a little bit but when you all mentioned JW's it reminded me of something. A few months ago my 16 year old daughter got mad at me about something and stormed off for a walk. She walked out with her typical teen atire; torn jeans, t-shirt, hoodie and skull cap. I let her go for her walk knowing it would calm her down. She came home an hour later complaining that she walked down to the supermarket around the corner from us and was sitting in front of it when she was approached by what she called nuns who were trying to talk to her about God. They kept asking her if she was ok, if she was homeless or needed a place to stay. I busted out laughing. I eventually found out these were Morman ladies (LDS, I guess?). They had given their card to my daughter and she complained that they wouldn't leave her alone until she agreed to meet with them again at our house. Well, they showed up a day later wanting to talk to all of us. I thanked them very politely for their interest and concern in my daughter but assured them that we are a Christian family and have our own church we go to. Not to mention that yes, we do feed and clothe and house our child. :)

These ladies were just as nice as could be and I really did appreciate their concern in my daughter but we still tease her that she looked like she was homeless that day. I think God definately has a sense of humor. He doesn't leave her alone, that's for sure! :)

When I answered the door nekked the tick people ran away screaming "Run, it's the Sasquatch!".  Never did find out if I had ticks  = (

Now I know why JW's never come to the door ....

[Savas]

I wish I'd get a visit from the Jehovah's. I miss 'em. they always seem like they're in such a hurry to leave once they start getting to know me though, no matter how friendly I try to be. I wonder why...:)

[April2]

I could just see them screaming, throwing their pamphlets up in the air and running as fast as their legs could carry them, lol.
It would certainly be something they'd never forget! ;)

[Es536]

hahaha.. you are hilarious. That would be a terrible joke if someone actually did go do that just for the kicks. ROFL that is funny

[PrettyKitty1]

ha ha ha I started laughing right after I posted the question.  Savas, I wonder what the Jehovah's would say after seeing your naked body, I'd pay to hear that lol

[Savas]

Heh heh...THIS is why I always answer the door naked!

It avoids being tricked by scam artists...and gives the Jehovah's something to talk about later in church!

[mrwjd]

Is Savas ever serious?

[April2]

Ha! Ha! Savas, you crack me up! You always manage to bring a grin to my face! Thanks for the chuckle. :D

[PrettyKitty1]

Are you serious???
