A man answers a knock at the door, but there is no one there. Just as he’s about to close the door, he hears a small voice say, “Excuse me sir, could I interest you in a set of encyclopaedias?” He looks down and sees a snail on his doorstep.
Angered at being dragged away from a television program by a snail selling encyclopaedias, he kicks the poor snail off his front step and into the garden, before returning inside.
Six months later, there’s a knock at the door. He answers the door to find the snail, who asks, “What did you do that for?”

I took a call about three weeks before Christmas. A woman who knew the name of my youngest, knew our address and the name of the little ones nursery and went on to say that she had something for the little one. She went on about the nursery and I honestly thought the man she told me had to come and see me, had something to do with the nursery. She spoke so fast, I had trouble understanding her and when I explained that I’m a foreigner, she was quite rude to me, however because I still thought it was someone to do with the nursery, I was polite.
I asked at the nursery but they had no knowledge of the caller. I couldn’t cancel the ‘visitor’ because the caller had abruptly put the phone down and hadn’t left me a number.
The man arrived at the door and I told him straight, if he’s selling something I’m NOT buying. He said he wasn’t. TWO AND A HALF HOURS later he left having spent the whole time trying to sell us a set of encyclopedias for the bargain price of about 3000 Euro’s. He told us it was such an important buy that other things should be gone without in order to buy it.
I wondered how I could justify in a court of law, the starvation of my children in order to impart knowledge?!?
The man of course, left with no sale.
The best bit for me was though when the 5yo insisted on making him look through a stack of books she ALREADY HAS for half an hour.
