I got a note on my door: "I've been servicing some of your neighbors

[Bouncy Ball]

for three years. I am looking for new clients to service. If you don't want to be serviced, please pass this on to a neighbor or friend who does. I will come by and take apointmints {sic} in the morning. Thank you."

Who knew Jeff Gannon lived around here?


(I think the person forgot to leave another part of their sales pitch or something. That can't be all of it. But I think I'll take a pass on being "serviced" by a complete stranger. The 80s ARE over, after all.)

1. sweetie daaaaaaaaaaaaarling...

if this man's wearing rather tight jeans and has a notoriously filthy rich and well-endowed brother, I say...beget the son & heir! :D

[Bouncy Ball]

2. BEGET THE SON AND HEIR!

BEGET THE SON AND HEIR!

"I'm rather bigger with my clothes off."

3. Ummm....how....interesting.

You've no idea the mental image I am now struggling with.

[Bouncy Ball]

7. Yes???

LOL

I laughed so hard when I took it off my door and read it. SERVICE me? Been servicing my neighbors for three years?

No wonder they're so relaxed.

4. Please tell me you're making this up

If not. Send it to the police. It sounds like solicitation to me.

[Bouncy Ball]

5. Nope, not making it up.

Typed it verbatim. It's sitting right here on my desk.

I think maybe it was for a house cleaning business and the person's English isn't so hot. It's not unusual for around here.

In Jesusland, no one would be so bold as to do an actual solicitation for actual......servicing this way.

10. English as a second language

Even for people who only know one.

[amber dog democrat]

6. OK, then we reserve the right to refuse SERVICE to you.

but wait, what kind of service is it?

[Bouncy Ball]

8. No idea.

But if they forgot the rest of the material on everyone else's door today, that was a total waste of time and energy. There isn't even a phone number I can call to arrange to be serviced.

[amber dog democrat]

13. how Kafkaesque !

I can see the whole basis for a novel here... " The Service "
Can this be performance art ?

[Bouncy Ball]

14. Performance art...

that made me laugh hard.

[amber dog democrat]

16. This would be a great thing to do......

just leave badly copied non specific -untracable handouts on peoples front porches
offering " service " .

no name, no phone number, no clues.

but I would not do it too often.

[elperromagico]

9. Good god, it's a service epidemic!

[joeybee12]

11. What! I've been "servicing" for years! Now I learn you can make money

doing this!:cry:

[Bouncy Ball]

12. No shit.

Little did *I* know.

[joeybee12]

15. I could be retired by now!

Those nickles would have added up!;-)

[steve2470]

17. my son's mother accused me of "servicing" her one time.

I guess I did a good job,huh ?

:silly:

18. I blame "Desperate Housewives" for this
