Weirdest thing happened to me today

Someone tried proselytizing to me INSIDE the supermarket. Who starts a conversation by proselytizing?
Same person did the same to a cashier, and handed them a pamphlet.

Now, I was going to do something a bit rude, but kept my mouth shut.

I just say, "No thank you," then close the door. There used to be a ceramic sign outside the house, but it's faded with time.

Also, jojoba rhymes with Jehovah, so it's like a pun.

Additionally, Jehovah Witnesses often go door to door handing out religious literature, they are known for that. This detail adds an element of humor to the pun.

That's pretty much it. This is the point where hilarity should be ensuing!


*Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better, but the frog dies.

I know it's been in the hands of these crazy maniacs, so I don't want to get infected w/ what they have. Enough said.
