Try this phrase next time Jehovahs witnesses come to call:
"Come in, let's talk about God, I have 18 minutes until I have to give blood! Slice of birthday cake?"
(My dad spent a long time in the early 90s finding out what they could and couldn't do, that one REALLY worked well)!

Unfortunately the Hairy-fishnits and the Morgan fanclub come strainght in, and usually ask for seconds!

But that is boring.  I prefer to point out the first Chinese Empire was founded only 50 years after the literalists date for the great flood, and ask them to explain how there was enough people 6000 miles away to do this in just 3-4 generations.  Kangaroos are another good one.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Go, explain kangaroos! I need a laugh!
(The counter to this will of course be 'duck-billed platypus, made up of the big man's spare parts!)

What's even funnier is if you let them in and then talk about anything BUT religion. Show them your kid's hamster and tell them all about it, talk about the recent re-do of yout living room, discuss pro's and con's of a flat screen tv, and finally invite them up to have a look at your stamp collection. Believe me, it doesn't matter if you have one, for by this time they will have bowed in a hurry.

Cheers,

If they're his spare parts then he's an odd-looking cove.  :o And I'd like to know about kangaroos too.  ;)

Apparently 'roos (and koalas and stuff) floated on mats of the debris caused by the flood (STOP LAUGHING - this is the official explanation of Ken Ham's creation museum).  They don't explain how they got to Israel.

I like Eddie Izzard's comment - surely evil ducks should rule the Earth - "Aren't you coming on the Ark?"  "Nah, we're ducks, instead of floating down here, we'll float up there."

Lead alloy parachutes don't work too well....  ;)

Victim of mistranslatation. It was Ted Zeppelin, named after Kaiser Edvard, leader of the empire fielding the drop-bear airborn force.

Oh, you've spotted it! I may have to arrange to have you rendered unable to blow my cover in a more public forum than this.

I DID like the concept of Ted Zep tho' !
But was it the golfing drop bears that recorded 'Fairway to Heaven' ?
Must be somewhere in the CD collection. ;)
