a question for the forum's coppers

[steverob]

Best one I had was when I was with a few mates from football and we were approached by a guy asking for a quid who looked genuine and had a brilliant sob story; we probably weren't going to give him anything, but he really laid the charm on thick and he was that good that there was a chance he might win us round. Except about 3/4 of the way through his tale, his phone went off and he proceeded to pull out an immaculate looking iPhone, whichever was the latest model that had only been out two weeks or so at the time and has a conversation with whoever in a completely different voice, clearly his normal one, not the put-on act he's been doing for us. Then at the end of the call, he drops immediately back into his routine like nothing had happened! I think one of my friends pointed out that if he's got £500+ to spend on a phone newer and more expensive than all of our ones put together, we should be asking him for money!

My daughter answered the door yesterday, came into the living room and said..
'Daddy; there's a man at the door with a bill'.

I said.....

'Don't be silly dear, it must be a duck with a hat on'

I'll get my coat.

Holy thread resurrection batman!

Id combine the posts from 2012. If a 22 year old woman came to the door asking for money I'd offer to take her out for a meal.

The Jehovahs stopped knocking on my door since I asked a nice lady Watchtower distributor for a bunk up.

2012 i have just liked a 2012 post.

That's quite modern for you, considering your Goodnight Sweetheart thread.

Yup, almost reliable!

4 and a half years and you haven't even embroidered the story!

Now there's a nice positive slant on it

That's hilarious! I remember many years ago a really boring guy approached my girlfriend and I and started lecturing us about religion, he wasn't interested at all in anything we had to say until I managed to slip in a joke about us enjoying sex with farm animals, he then just turned around and walked away without another word. Oh, joy!
I should add that I live in the US

If I tried that, he would probably whip out his iPhone and try to show me his favourite farm sex videos!

I tried to put off one JW by stating that I was a devout Jew (I am actually an atheist), thinking that would put him off, but he said that he would be very interested in having a long chat to compare our religious beliefs!

I hate to say it but I think I would rather watch farm sex videos than be lectured on religion! Not a lot in it really!

Oooh, rookie mistake. A friend of mine told the JWs he was gay and they came back repeatedly telling him they could 'fix' him.
