An example of a great segue

About a year or so ago, I finally found a 'No Soliciting' sign that wasn't one of those tacky 'Beware of Dog' type signs and small enough to put on the front door. Two years ago during my canvassing experience with Mitch the guy who was once adament about bringing the troops home from the war but has now moved on to other topics, I remember seeing houses that had signs of a black outline of a person with a white low case 't' in the middle. I guess that part of the neighborhood was big with religious people and I still wonder where you buy such a sign. To date, we still have people coming and knocking on our door and I have wanted to open the door and ask for them to tell me the definition of 'solicit'. I always thought it meant someone selling something until I double checked the dictionary and as it pertains to a person, it just means 'to make a request or petition to (a person)'. It then goes on to include prostitution but I'm pretty sure the people knocking on my door aren't prostitutes but wouldn't that be an ingenious way to sell yourself? Forget that walking up and down a busy street, waiting for men to come to you and hiding from the cops. They should take the initiative and go door to door. The other thing I have wondered is if they are walking up and down streets looking for guys, why not be more "undercover" and have a dog with you? Then when the police stop to question you, you can just say that you're walking your dog. It's not like the ones in my city are dressed nicely. They look even worse than I do when I go out walking Hooch.

Funny how a post to complain about people who don't know what 'No Soliciting' means turns into my ideas for prositutes to work and not get picked up by the cops, isn't it? That can be completely blamed on The Oxford Modern English Dictionary, not me.
