My ten-second salesman visit. |
|
*A knock on the apartment door. Chichiri, lost in DU-land, answers the door. A guy is standing there in tattered clothes holding a spray bottle of something called BLAZE*
Him: "How you doin, man, I'm just goin around showing people this cleaning solution called BLAZE. You got an old pair of white tennis shoes laying around?"
Me: "No."
Him: "Can you show me that carpet stain?" *points*
Me: "No."
Him: "Eh, you probably couldn't afford it."
Me (to his receding back): "Have a good night."
*Salesman ignores me, just walks around the corner to the stairway, and up to the upper levels, where he's probably insulting people up there as I speak.*

4. Knock knock... "Burglar" |
|
Woman peering through crack: "What?"
Man: "Burglar, madam."
Woman: "If I let you in, you'll try to sell me encyclopedias."
Man: "No, madam, I assure you I only want to come in and pilfer a few things."
Woman: "Promise you won't sell me encyclopedias?"
Man: "I only want to burgle your flat."
Woman (opening door): "Well, all right then."
Man (inside flat): "Mind you, have you given any thought to how much you could gain from a good set of encyclopedias?"
