Preaching Dursleys

This morning there was a knock at the door, and when I have opened it (in my pajamas, of course) I got a slight shock: there were Mr. Dursley and 15 years old Dudley standing - fat, round-faced, piggy-eyed, wearing stupid suits, and false smiles! But something was slightly wrong: Mr.Dursley had no mustache, and had an american, not english air about him. Still, the likeness was very impressive:) With those false smiles they had asked how I am today. I said: "fine. Are you Christians?" They had answered "Oh no, we just..." But I was looking at a bible in Mr. Dursley's hand, along with some brochures. "Are you from some kind of church?" - "Yes, and..." "Okay, you have knocked at a wrong door. I am not a christian and have no intention to become one; I pray to my own gods. Good day!" I shut the door, but before it I had a glimpse at the very faces - hatred! - that Harry Potter was seeing every day at his uncle's house. Wow. Yes, I need a "preachers, keep off" sign for my door, yet I was very amused by such an incredible resemblance:)) I wonder how they don't realize it...

Сагодня уртом стук в дверь. Открываю (в пижаме, ясное дело:) - и вижу на пороге Мистера Дарсли и сына его Дадли, лет 15-ти - толстых, кругломордых, в идиотских костюмах, со свинными глазками и фальшивыми улыбками. Вау. Было в их облике что-то малость неправильное: у Мистера Дарсли не водилось усов, да и выглядел он как американ, а не как англичан. Всё равно, сходство было потрасяющее:) Проповедники какой-то грёбаной христианской секты. Я им, вобщем-то, рта открыть не дала, убедилась только что они те, кто я думаю, и гордо ответив что-то в Волкодавьем стиле типа: "Я молюсь своим богам" закрыла дверь. Но таки увидела мельком те самые лица - ненависть! - которые Харри наблюдал каждый день в доме своего дяди. Угу, нужна табличка на дверь "Проповедники - нах!" Но всё равно забавно - такое сходство! Неужели до них самих не допирает?:))

You *so* should make a sign for your door, like the Ghostbusters sign. I am Christian, but I hate those annoying, privacy-invading missionary types. My standard line is 'Thanks, I'm pious enough.'. Wham, Door shut.

Heh, Ghostbusters-like sign is a great idea!:)) May be I'll arrange something like it. Though I found out, that playing loudly Rammstein is working good too: last time I found some of those brochures on the doorknob, but the missionaries obviously were not eager to meet a person, who's listening to that type of music, in person:))
I am a pagan, but I have nothing against Christians, or followers of any other religion - while they are not harming people of the believes, different from theirs - but man,those missionaries are so annoying!

Lol! You definitely need a door sign! "Beware of the missionary-eating dog"

...Dragon! "Beware of the missionary-eating dragon!" Sara, you are a genius! :)) I will try to make such a sign for my door!:))

I'm glad my suggestion was helpful!
