And a follow-up question: Would each of these organizations reap huge economies of scale and scope by training each person for each organization's position? I mean, one guy could show up at your door, hand you a checklist, and tell you to mark the ones that interest you.
Well, I guess the guy with no arms and no legs couldn't really hand you the checklist, could he? Oh well, never mind.

Invite the JW'S in first, then the Mormons on the bikes- but make them leave their bikes outside. You could have them explain the whole Chased by an Elephant thing to the JW's, the JW's would get sick of it and leave. But you still have the Mormons. Then invite your upstairs neighbor in and introduce him to the Mormons- then eventually they will leave and go upstairs and talk religion. Invite the IRS agent and the vaccum salesman in at the same time- then make some off handed comment to the salesman about how he hasn't filed his returns since 2005- that will take the heat off you. Then buy some cookies- it is important to do this after the Mormons have left the building or they will think they are the refreshements and eat them all- then you will never get rid of them. Give some cookies to the last guy and if the IRS Auditor sees it, then you have a huge tax deduction for helping the needy and he will leave and go Audit the salesman.

Thats a decision you need to make for yourself:
definitely not the IRS - let them send you mail.
Hows the cookie stock??
vacuum cleaner work??
do you like your neighbor??
Helen Keller is dead, how would you know a guy with no arms or legs are at the door? he can't knock!!
If you have kids, don't open for Michael!!
Mormons and JWs -forget it!
Upstairs neighbor wins!!

Just buy cookies from the girl scout and send the rest on their way. You did know Helen Keller an Michael Jackson and a man with no arms or legs would ever go to your door, right?

I'd listen to the girl scouts first, so I could get some cookies. Then the missionaries, and we'd share the cookies. Then I'd listen to the IRS auditor, but I'd get rid of him so I could talk to my neighbor, who would be sure to help me get rid of the darned JW's then we'd invite the guy with no arms and no legs in while trying to figure out why a dead woman was at my door, and I'd slam the door in Michael Jackson's face. It scares me.

I guess it all depends what interests you. people generally like to listen to something that they want answers too. If it was a religious question, then listen to the religious people and compare them. Does what they say make sense, can you check it out for yourself. To be honest the only people that would actually show up on your doorstep with anything good to offer would be JW'S. Or maybe im biased ;-)

A, D, and E. A to help out a good youth organization. D as your money is on the line, and E just to be courteous.

I'd talk to my neighbour first, they're actually relevant in your everyday life. Then I'd buy some cookies and maybe a new vacuum, then shut the door on the rest and carry on with life =]

Answer the door for the honest policitians. There are so few of them. Vacuum salesmen are not as likely able to sell you a false religion!

#1 would have to be the IRS, since you probably wouldn't survive rejecting him. #2 Girl Scout cookies! Yummm!

The Girl Scouts, buy one of each.
If you see Michael Jackson, call crime stoppers, there's a bail bondsman looking for him!
Notice the proper use of my apostrophe?
