Just walked past a house round our way on my lunch break
Had a sign in the front window saying "Cold callers will be exsanguinated".

Wannabe Vampire? Or just an aggressive, cantankerous old sod with an impressive mastery of long words?

It's basically Monty either way

Exsanguination is one of my favourite
words. I'm not a vampire wannabe either.

I would prefer to defenestrate cold callers though.

Now there's a brilliant word. Defenestration
Impractical though. You'd have to invite them in, and then break your own windows.

It would be easy if he was a
double glazing salesman!

Giving cold callers your business is no way to discourage them
These people will happily take a few facial lacerations if it means a sale
