While at uni
We had a lovely Jehovah's Witness man who used to come around with their magazines. I think he knew I wasn't interested but he gave me the magazine anyway. The religion stuff wasn't interesting but I'm pretty sure they had recipes and gardening tips which was alright! (no crossword or sudoku though).

He kept coming back and giving me a new magazine each time until we moved out. He knew I wasn't interested but I think I must have been the only person on the estate who didn't tell him to fuck off.

Some other wierd dudes with american accents in suits came around trying to sell me some religion. I told them to go away. They freaked me out because they looked like something out of The Matrix.

That'll be...
The mormons then.

My Next door neighbour was one and she always had a couple of young American boys in suits living with her.

They call these kids the Elders and they do much the same as the JW's do - knocling door to door but once they're inside you get treated to a super surround sound DVD on the life of Joseph Smith. Proper Hollywood production job, special effects and everything.

I alwayds thought that perhaps they should just print a crap magazine and give the difference to the poor.

Ah yes, the mormons
First day in my first student house, wake up still flu-ridden and not with it to the doorbell to one of these men in suits.

I kept asking them for their "memory stick thing" and whether "they'd seen any good aliens lately".
