1. You should keep a cloak and witches hat handy for just such an occasion.
And some chalk, to quickly draw some runes and pentagrams everywhere. :P

5. Heh... I haven't done the 'surfer cut' shaved sides and back since...
mid 90s perhaps?

Then again, I stopped cutting my hair period around '98... :P

7. That pic was from 2000.
He cut it shortly after. Being out collecting insects, he noticed ticks were using his ponytail to hitch a ride. Well, that was it for the ponytail. He says he's going to grow it back out after he gets settled into a job. It's not uncommon for professors to be long-hairs. ;)

6. You could tell him something like...
"If you don't grow it back, I'm gonna find some other hot guy with long hair."

BTW, I'm single...

11. I always keep copies of The Watchtower handy
That way, you just hand them one of those when they come a'knockin'. That usually shuts them up.

24. Next time...
answer the door nekkid while holding a half full bottle of scotch and ask them if they brought the strippers! :silly:

Seriously, I printed a sign for my front window that says...

DO NOT knock or ring bell
if you're selling anything
including your GOD.
I'M NOT BUYING!

:hi:

26. I had a sign kind of like that one.
Mine was to stave off the crackheads that used to ring our bell looking for the people across the hall. :grr:

I should have told him I was rasta and offered him a doob. :evilgrin:

30. Edit...
Replace half full bottle of scotch with your red plastic Rastafarian Chalice!



Then offer to join his church if the congregation will agree to replace their ecclesiastical leader with an ecdysiast. :P

28. When we had some either mormons or something similar coming around our house
several years back my dad dug up an old paperback he'd kept ready for such an event and placed it in the window next to the door.

The book was called 'How to deal with fakes at your door', and in big letters listed all kinds of people who might come knocking... salesmen, various religious groups, ect.

We were the one house on our block who didn't get a knock on our door. :)
