Well, that's a first!

Mormon missionaries at the door! XD I told them they were very brave to drive down a half-mile-long driveway and knock on the door of a house that positively screams "crazy Alaska woods people", complete with barking dogs. And they were polite; we chatted a bit, I explained that I'm an atheist and not interested, and they were nice about it, so -- bonus points for that. I'm still slightly amazed that they actually braved our middle-of-nowhereness; in the four years we've lived here, it's the first time anyone has showed up at the door who wasn't a delivery/service person or someone who knew us already and had been given detailed directions to get here.

1. Did you ask why they weren't wearing their bear helmets?

2. An ex of mine (6'5", pierced in multiple places) used to answer his door naked whenever he saw missionaries waiting. He'd start playing with one of his nipple rings, and ask the missionaries if they wanted to come in and uh, Talk.

None were willing to venture past the threshold. Can't imagine why.

eeheeheeeheee ... oh god.

Sadly, for me, I suspect that technique wouldn't quite have the desired effect.

I haven't got the balls for it. ;p

[groan] Ooooh, I should have seen that one coming.

Er, so to speak.
