Every cloud, and all that...

chillidoggy

Just getting out of the shower this morning when I heard the doorbell ring. No way I was going to rush downstairs to open the door but I was expecting a parcel, so was a bit pissed off.

Grabbing a towel, and doing my best to dry most of me, I dashed to the front bedroom to look out of window only to find it wasn't a courier, rather a pair of Jehovahs.

Cheered me up no end.

All I can see in that story is silver lining

Had exactly the same thing happen a few weeks back. However, I didn’t realise who it was until I had opened the door... wearing the smallest towel we own loosely wrapped around me waist...

as as soon as I’d clocked who it was I said “good, you’re on time, we are just about to start, come in”.

ive never seen two people get away from me as fast as that pair did!...

Well, I haven't got the parcel delivered yet, and it's probably Hermes, so the joy may be short-lived!

But if you'd opened the door - dripping wet - I'm sure they would have offered you a Watch Towel.

Depends on who it is to be fair. Sometimes it's a woman who's really good, other times it's some bloke from eastern Europe who couldn't give a shit.

I used to despise Hermes, but a lot of that was down to my address - despite living in a busy urban area, the list of people who couldn't find my house was long.  Hermes, Domino's Pizza, Royal Mail, me when we first moved there and I came home plastered from my work's Christmas do.

Weirdly DPD were the only ones who found it every time.  I've held a strange affection for them ever since.

You should have answered the door naked and invited them inside...

All we get around here is bible thumping Protestants at our door and setting up their PA across from us in the boot of a Ford Kuga.

Id take Jehovah over that any day of the week.

Just out of shower and the Witnesses come to the door = open door, drop towel and start playing with gonads. 

I usually tell the Witnesses and any unsuspecting Mormons that I'm a Satanist. No disregard to Satanists of course.

I would have given them a golden shower instead.

There is only one Jehovah.

Yeah that sounds crap to be fair.  God, in all his various forms, seems to skip my gaff entirely.  As do trick or treaters.

The only thorn in the side was the local Labour councillor, he'd knock on every so often apparently doing his level best to put me off voting Labour.  He swang from being initially very pleasant to being truculent and on one occasion downright rude.  I think the change occurred about the time I told him I'd binned off my party membership in a protest at Jeremy Corbyn's shite leadership.

Thankfully the he's not managed to find my new address yet.

You should have said "You're early but come in and strip off .. the camera crew are setting up and our porn film 'Swingers in suburbia' should only take about 5 hours to shoot. Don't worry we have plenty of Viagra and coffee" .. ;-)

Interestingly, the wife, who was in the house a couple of doors down at the time, said she also saw them and they didn't go to every house. I can only make the assumption that the ones they missed out have previously told them to fuck off and don't bother coming back.

Probably, we've been blacklisted for years...

and their opening words to you were -  "Jesus Christ!"

Sounds an unlikely story. Got any witnesses?

should have just opened the curtains in the buff! They may have asked "How shall we Fuck Off  Oh Lord?"
