Bindlestiff: snip of a sad tale

My tale is a bit funnier. My shop is small, so I normally leave
the double doors open. Ear muffs on, dust mask, face shield, table saw
going. Notice movement out of the corner of my eye. Here's a well
dressed couple, and and women. The woman's bounding up and down waving
her hand, practilly jumping clear of the ground. No telling how long
they'd been there. You can guess where this's going. Shut the saw off,
unmask, muffs off. "Can I help you?", I ask.

Jehovah's Witnesses. LOL I politely told them to get lost. It's
always fun, when you're in the right mood, with nothing better to do, to
bring out a chair, and sit and listen to them. NOT invite them in, not
bring out chairs for them, just sit and listen to them. For some reason
they never visit me anymore. LMAO

Ahh, yes, the good old JWs. They usually don't stick around long after we tell
them we're Roman Catholic. At our previous house, the crucifix (hand-carved by
my FIL, by the way -- obligatory woodworking content) hanging on the living
room wall was clearly visible from the front door. Their visits were typically
very, very short.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.
