I know.

But the house was warm and dry.

They, when I invited the answer, told me they were doing their 'bit' in
one lump so they got let off religious duties when they got back to the
US.

Or some thing like that.

They did seem poorly briefed in what to expect with weather and what
peoples reactions would be.

A some what eccentric father of a friend of mine, when I was in Kent,
solved the problem of repeated 'knocks' on his door by God Botherers by
open the door and inviting them in:
Stark naked and only talking Swahili to them.

They never came back.

I'd find it even harder to be polite, coupled with their insane belief
in invisible fairies is oppression of minorities & women which is far
less prevalent amongst the JW and other christian sects.

My youngest son did the same several years ago with JW's but without the
need to invite them in or talk Swahili. They've never been back either.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

Where 'cavort' means 'performing lewd acts while using a penis pump'.
