NO SOLICITING!

(Unless you are someone under the age of 12 selling something sweet, like cookies or candy, at a price not to exceed $2.00, for your scout troop, sports team, or church group. I’m sympathetic to child slave labor, I like kids, and I like cookies even better.)

But if you do not fall into that category, I don’t want your magazine because I already have a subscription. I don’t want your newspaper because I already get it. I do not want to pay you to run, walk, swim, jog, jog-walk, swim-jog, or walk-run. I do not want to pay you to cure AIDS. I don’t want to fund your fraternity’s trip to Mexico. I genuinely hope that together we can help stop female breast cancer, and while I’ll be more than happy to give you a free exam, I do not want to pay you to examine others. I do not want a “trial” anything. I do not want to pay you to leave me alone, that’s what this sign is for. I do not want you to keep standing in front of my door, reading this sign in the hopes that I might have posted an exception for your particular breed of leech. If you want my money, feel free to try robbing me. I carry a knife with a 4-inch blade and will gladly extend your smile to your ears. Thank you, and the best of luck screwing over my neighbors.



YIkes!!!! While some of it was slightly amusing, some was harsh and I'd be worried about the 'wrong' person reading it. The underlined part is scary and Christian-like or not? I thinking, love thy neighbor and all that stuff

I find having a sign up really DOES help curb lots of the salesmen. We get them daily in our new neighborhood trying to sell us everything from steaks to carpet protection.
Not too long ago my oldest ds was in the front and one came up to him and asked for his parents. He said... "Sorry but they don't answer sales calls...see that 'no soliciting' sign?"... and the lady says... "Oh but I'm not a soliciter, I'm a peddler." haha!
