Very cute. We should try that with the repetitive phone calls from American Indian tribes calling about the "WILDFIRES" IN COLORADO.
When I tell them that we have children who live in Colorado who were between both massive forest fires......they just keep on with their own agenda............personally, I didn't believe they were really Indians.
They certainly didn't live out west; their phone address said Amsterdam, N.Y.
Darn it, only thing is that my husband doesn't remember any of his Polish from elementary school.......only a few choice unmentionable words.
As far as door to door, my pet peeve was the Jehovah Witnesses.
The Mormon young men were always polite and mannerly.
But, the way we feel..........we don't call randomly to folks , nor do we ring doorbells.........it's just annoying.......so there should be a law against it. Up here the "lifetime" politicians in our small town only come right before election time..........never at other times to see if we might need their help.
