My college room mate had the best solution to door-to-door types of all flavors. We lived in an apartment complex that was 95% students. He would answer the door naked except for his hat. Asked him once why he wore the hat - he said that if you're naked people may think you had just gotten out of the shower and forgotten the towel. But if you have a hat on, they know that you are crazy.
Funny thing is that after a couple weeks, word apparently got around and we weren't bothered by *any* door to door people the rest of the time we lived there.
Rick is retired from a *serious* government job and is a college professor now. And we still enjoy pulling pranks on each other.
