Someone who is selling something, I've always loved;

Now before you do reply, you will have to sign this piece of paper (one is always near the door) as a contract with me saying where you are from and that you agree with these terms. (Wave the paper in front of them) Do we have an agreement, yes or no?"

or

"Hi! I've just got new hinges on my front door and have been dying to test it out on someone like you! Goodbye. (slam the door) Then say in a very loud voice - "What a good investment THAT was !!"

However, with the very persistent Jehovah Witnesses knocking on my door, (actually averaging about once every four weeks with me) my favourite line is;

"What blood group are you? I'm actually the rare AB negative and sadly a haemophilic. I am after a good honest Christian soul who might help me with my frequent blood transfusions!" (Their jaws drops every time in astonishment!)

or even

"Sorry. I believe in the Trinity - you know - Isis, Ra and Seth"*

* Others could be like;
- Vishnu, Brahma and Krishna
- Zeus, Hera and Poseidon
- John, Paul, George (and sometimes, of course Ringo)

Needless to say, they don't stick around very long!
