*Dark clouds rumble, thunder booms..I am displeased.*

I got accosted in the elevator by a couple of
Jehovah's Witnesses. *Crack of wrathful lightnng*
There were two of them...one lady claimed to be blind and carried a cane, and asked me, "Do you want to stop War?" and since I was very obviously Staff, (they heard my keys jingle) I took it to be polite...of course it was a tract.

We don't allow solicitations where I work...it's a public place where people come to meet with their colleagues,relax, enjoy friends, and look at interesting things in the galleries. People in general don't want to be disturbed when they're trying to relax.

I quietly had a word with the chief guard on duty to let her know what was up...she shuddered when I mentioned the "Sweet Blind Old Lady." (The best thing to be if you don't want to get thrown out of a public space.) But she's on the case...and has this sweetly tactful way to toss people out on their ear. Meanwhile..I still have the tract. It offends me terribly. (I *don't* like people proseletizing at me. Or anyone else, for that matter.)

I haven't a clue how to make polls, so I will just ask you, my LJ palarinos, your opinions on what to do with it.

1: Burn it.
2: Jump up and down on it.
3: Tear it up into little pieces and flush it down the toilet.
4: Tear it into little pieces and put it into recycling with some cleansing salt so one day it will be a nicer piece of paper.
5: Burn it and bury the ashes under an oak tree so that it will nourish something.
6: Cut out bits to put in my new Zine in progress with weird little jabs at pop culture and Hello-Kitty stickers.

Or of course your own suggestions...I'm sure I'm missing something...

I'd flush it, but only if you're sure it won't interfere with your plumbing system.

Okay, one vote for flushing...
(Checks for the best toilet in the building..)

Polls aren't too bad. There's a nifty gadget for generating them. This FAQ explains:

I've been in LJ support a bit lately - can you tell?? ;~)

I'll vote for 6. You need to use your own special powers to overcome their narrow minded drive for conformity.

Vote tallied on the ClipBoard of Ultimate ummmm..stuff!

And thank you for the link for polls...I'll give it a whirl in a while!

I always read them. Know thy enemy.

Re:

I did that first...it's pretty much the same stuff as the last time they cornered me, but with a curiously heavy slant on Judaism this time...(In a badly disguised negative way.)

I always read the tracts before I throw them away or whatever. It's good to know what they're crusading about this week. *rueful grin*

Latest election news!

1: nil points (no points)
2: nil points (no points)
3: un point (one point)
4: nil points (no points)
5: nil points (no points)
6: un point (one point)
Write-in candidate "read it and weep": un point (one point)

So far things are balanced on a knife-edge, with a re-count in Florida.
