Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for September 30, 2021

I have two but they don’t work.

I’ve always wondered: if missionaries come by and they’re not saying $1.50 for a Watchtower or $1.00 for a Book of Mormon, how is that soliciting when people say soliciting involves money? Additionally, what about Girl Scouts’ cookies and school fundraisers coming to your home which has a “no solicitors” sign?

Don’t trip over your case as you leave

Selling “no soliciting” signs is a very bad move. NO REPEAT BUSINESS! ;D

… so … you’ll be the last?

If my dog wasn’t so cute, he’d bite you!

I take it they don’t work unless I buy one?

Well, now that could be actually useful.

Ziggy got slipper and night cap. Still no pants!

“I’ll take two, but not from you…”

I don’t need a sign. If I actually decide to answer the door I simply tell them to keep moving in a clear no nonsense manner.

7 a.m. is a really good time to sell those.

No thanks, I already have one, but apparent it’s defective.

It just might work, sorta like selling umbrellas during a rainstorm.

“I’m looking for my shot-gun.”

We had a “NO AGENTS – SOLICITORS or PEDDLERS” sign posted on our screen door as I was growing. My mother had a great disliking of people knocking on our door that wasn’t invited. When anyone with a religious organization knocked she would tell them they were all three. They were an agent of God, soliciting money for their cause and peddling their religion and quietly shut the door on them. Often they would just stand on the porch stunned with a puzzled look on their faces. They couldn’t comprehend how anyone could be that rude.

Anyone see “The Abbott and Costello Show” episode?
