Visit the Dr. Scholl's display at a drug store and pick up some Moleskin.

It's not a rubbing thing, it's a tight thing.

Why is is that otherwise perfectly good delis serve awful pickles? What does a gal have to do in this town to get a decent pickle, other than go to a pickle specialty store???

"Hello, I'm Eudora Welty and I'm calling on behalf of MCI phone service. Are you a decision maker of this residence?"
“And another thing. You don't have to "move on" either. Not until you're ready. People say, Oh, you should be grateful. They say, Oh, it's time for you to move on. I'm like, What are you, a cop with a nightstick? I'll move on when I'm done playing the blues on my harmonica, thank you very much.
Really, people will tell you all kinds of garbage. Don't believe it.
You don't have to move on until you're ready.”

"I'm not sure. Do I have to give you an answer now? I mean, I might be. Can I think about it for a minute? Am I alllowed to change my mind later? What if I make the wrong choice? I guess it depends on what you mean by decision-maker.""Hello, I'm Eudora Welty and I'm calling on behalf of MCI phone service. Are you a decision maker of this residence?"

I always let them finish their schtick while showing interest and then say
" it sounds great and I am thrilled that you would consider offering this service to an undischarged bankrupt like me"

Jehovah's Witnesses are the best fun
There is always
One white/one black
One old/one young
One really gabby and one silent ( I think one is a ventriloquist and is working the other one " may I tell you about Christ my personal saviour while my friend here drinks a glass of water?")
The best way I have found to deal with them is when they say "may we come in and talk to you about your salvation" say " sure, come on in. I have just put the kettle on" at which point they go "you're a nutter" and leave
