Stories from the subway

Having a good day so far?
Yeah, it's ok.
You coming back from school?
No, work.
Whereabouts do you work?
Around here. Listen, with all due respect, I'm really not interested.
Do you know what we have in common?
Yes, I do.
Then why haven't you been baptized yet?
Pardon me?
Why haven't you been baptized yet?
Because I'm strong in my faith.
Oh, what faith is that?
Islam.
Oh, then you know there's alot of similarities.
Uh-huh.
If you'd like to listen about a Prophet that's alive today, we can sit down and talk.
Uh... no thanks.
So, you've been in Toronto all your life?
Mm-hmm.
Have a good day.
You too.

lolll where is that door when you need it. Jehova's witnesses like Tablighi Jamaat atleast come to the door. There's not much one can do with people hassling you on the street.
