How to deal with door to door charity collections...
This very evening, not twenty minutes ago, there was a knock at the door. Sweary Jr went off to answer it. In the doorway, a woman stood.

"Christian Aid. Would you like to make a contribution?"

Deadpan, SJ responded, "How do I do that?"

"You put money in the envelope."

"Ah, I haven't got any spare; I need the money I do have to buy tabs and drink and stuff".

"..."

He's fifteen.

He's brilliant with telephone cold callers...
He kept one on the line for twenty minutes talking shit about guitars and chocolate and X-Box games, then ran through every DVD we own before the poor bastard hung up. We own quite a few DVDs.

I did
a similar thing with a door-to-door double-glazing salesman.

Turns out he played guitar. We ended up playing until it was dark, then I signed his form to say he'd given me the speil. Was bloody excellent.

I think I remember this.
Didn't you post the story on an old QotW? Not that I'm sad and read through all the old ones for lulz or anything...

I think
I may have actually now you mention it. He also had loads of stories about being a roadie in the 60's and 70's. Joey somethingorother his name was. Turned out he was a really nice bloke and pretty decent guitar player.
Mind you, I do this with most people that knock on the door. I had the Jovs turn up one day, so invited them in for a chat and a drink. Was actually quite interesting, despite being a practicing atheist.
