My wife repeatedly told him that she was not interested. He of course tried to point out the supposed benefits and alluded to the poor programs on free to air. My wife told him that we didn't watch much tv, so then he went on about what did we do, computers etc. He seemed to disbelieve her and asked her what we did at night if we weren't watching tv. She replied that there's plenty of good reading in the bible. That shook him, it wasn't one of the replies he had been expected. He was in fact speechless and quickly pissed off. So if you get a pesky door to door salesman make out you are a religious nutter and they should run like hell. Disclaimer: Don't try on The Mormons, Seventh day adventists or the JW's.

If he is so dense to remain, he deserves the $20,000 personal fine.
