I have two stories that have to do with J.W. peddlers. The first one was many years ago when I was going to college. Four of us lived in a large house on a busy street. The J.W. salesladies, and a kid happened to stop by on a Saturday morning. The only problem was that we had had an all-out beer party in the house on Friday night. There must have been a hundred beer cans lying on the floor. Also, from the front door, you could look straight into one of the bedrooms....which just happened to be occupied by my roommate and his girlfriend. The peddlers were horrified, but before they could turn around and leave, their trained child took a couple of steps into the house to hand me their literature. I'll never forget the look on all three faces right before they turned around and left.
The second time was a couple of years ago. At that time we had a German Shepherd/blue healer cross dog. This dog should have starred in some horror movies because the eyes were a very bright red, even though he wouldn't hurt a fly. The dog was appropriately called "Spook". I live out in the country where there are no close neighbors. A car pulls up, loaded with an elderly man and two ladies. Spook parks himself right outside the driver's door and just stands there. My wife thought somebody was lost and needed directions, so she goes to the car. As soon as she was by the car, she realized they were J.W.s. The man was terrified of Spook and asked my wife if he had ever mauled anybody. My wife just said "not lately" and turned around to go back into the house.
I have nothing against the J.W.s themselves and kind of admire how they go door-to-door to peddle their religion, it's just that I have my own religion and I'm not interested in theirs.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
