The other day I was so annoyed by a door-to-door salesmen. He claimed that he wasn't a solicitor (as the home owners association here prohibits salesmen from entering our neighborhood). His explanation was he had delivered some products to a neighbor of mine, that he was at the end of his route and he had extras left over that he would sell cheaply.

This guy was peddling steaks and seafood. When I answered the door he explained that he wasn't a solicitor because the look on my face must have said "you are in violation/trespassing". He said that he was willing to take a loss on the left over filet mignon that he had left. I told him that I didn't cook. He then said "oh they practically cook themselves". Yeah, right you aren't a salesmen--sounded like a pitch to me.

I told him that I was one person and that all that food would be too much for me. He then went on to say "they are individually wrapped". So then I said "I'm a vegetarian". At this point he said "Oh if you are vegetarian, then I've got a great seafood selection". Is this guy kidding ? (I'm really not a vegetarian, and now I've got the sudden craving for Burger King).

He went through the list of seafood that he had at which point I stopped him and said "I'm vegetarian so I don't eat anything that once had eyes". At this point he started to talk about the frozen but "fresh" desserts he sold.

I went back into my house and shut the door.
