If that upsets you, you can always take a ride out to the airport

I handle these people the same way I handle the religious types that come around.
Step 1 - Yell loudly, "Just a second, I'm coming!" (can easily be misinterpreted)
Step 2 - Strip naked and toss on a towel and pair of cowboy boots, splash water on chest, hat optional
Step 3 - Throw cigar in mouth and grab bottle of jack
Step 4 - Open door and listen intently as they try to sell you whatever it is. Nod occasionally in agreement. As they're almost finished with a sentence, interupt, and invite them in for a drink. Tell them you'll take a bath with them and smoke cigars, talk about whatever it is they're selling.
They won't come back.
A sign helps but then you get the ones that will inform you "But I am not selling anything" OK, so you saw the "No Trespassing" sign next to it as well?
I never chastise the kids that are selling for the high school or girl scouts but I do take issue when I see a white van with Indiana plates hit the hood and 8 teenagers fall out selling magazines. I always like when they claim it is for the local school.
Oh, for Cleveland? Oh yes. Well there is no Cleveland high school in this town.....[Flower]
At this point is when I go into full blown asshole mode. Don't try to tell me your not selling anything, your trying to sell me on your religion, your candidate, your cause or whatever.
You come to my door and unless you are here to see my family, have a warrant or a delivery your selling something.
GTFOMP!

I just need a driveway long enough that it isn't worth it. or a nice gate that doesn't let anyone in!
