One hell of a salesman! A few minutes ago my doorbell rang. Me: "What can I do for you?"

Twenty Something Guy: “Hi! I’m doing demonstrations for Kirby vacuums today. I know you don’t want to buy one. They’re really expensive. I get $25.00 for every demo so can I come in and clean a carpet or hard floor?”

Me: “We just had all of our flooring cleaned so you’d be wasting you time.”

TSG: “Well, can I get your name so I can say you got a demo?”

Me: “No!”

TSG: “Okay! Have a blessed day.”
