Don Spang says: I once found myself winging it in a job interview and somewhat exaggerated my technical experience in the field of mainframe computer operations. 24 years later, I'm still there. Ever had to improvise to get by? Tell us you tales of MacGyver-type genius.

Smart young men in polyester suits, sometimes with a meek, headscarfed wife and sunday-buffed child in tow. They turn up on your door and try to engage you in a conversation about God.
They are masters of winging it; they can turn almost any conversation into one about God. Whatever you say, they can handbrake-turn the flow to their desired direction.
Almost. I did once manage to stump them: I told them I didn't believe in the universe. Left them with very little to work with...

They left me with a leaflet titled "Why you can trust the Bible" with sub-headings such as "There are no contradictions in the Bible".
When they came back, I had nine sides of notes, which I was very keen to go through with them in very fine detail.
I think eventually they blacklisted my house.

... but a friend of mine shared a flat with someone whose father was a lay minister, and as a result had a rathe church-y upbringing. He knew his Bible inside and out, and half a dozen translations at that.
So when they'd come knocking, he'd just sit there quietly and let them say their piece, then slowly take a pull on his tin of beer and polish his glasses on his Slayer t-shirt rather theatrically, and then systematically demolish every single thing they said.
