Next Door Neighbors by Pat Sandy for September 13, 2023

Then go back.

These kids have to have a tough skin. Some people can be quite hostile toward them.

That Ludman, he’s a sly devil!

No matter what I said, politely they kept talking, until you shut the door in their face! Been there, done that!

Witness: So you want us to leave? No way! Norm: Um, Yahweh!

Have this guy who keeps showing up at all hours from TRIDENT whatever the ef that is! He says I’m paying for it and he can save me money. That is always the first red flag. I now just don’t answer the doorbell when it is him. I think he gets paid by the house whether we answer or not. Then there are the solar guys who want to save me a ton of money. Everyone wants to save me money. I feel blessed!!

“Good afternoon, sir. Do you have time to hear about our religion?” “Sure, do you have time to hear my Amway pitch?”

My favorite episode of “Black’s Books”, a UK comedy TV series, involves Black, who is desperately trying to avoid doing his taxes, inviting a couple of religious proselytizers into his bookstore as a diversion from that daunting task. He winds up having to explain the meaning of a couple of Bible parables that they had misunderstood. :)

They’ve quit coming here, maybe it’s the pentagram on the driveway.

Try him again, around 11 PM. If not then, 4:30 AM.

ET TU, LUDMAN??
