Yes, my new go to has been that I live in a van.

Need solar: Can we mount that to my van?
New, energy efficient windows: My van does get drafty at night

I somehow "won" a cemetery plot years ago somewhere in Cobb County Georgia. This used to be common. They'd "give" you a lot and then come around trying to upsell you on all manner of stupid shite. This was back in the day when, if the phone rang, you by damned answered it LOL. They called several times to set up a meeting at our house. I always had plans but they caught me at home one evening. A middle aged woman and a kid about 18 in training. They had a bunch of glossy brochures of the cemetery and a pretty good spiel. They asked me if I had any questions and I responded "yes - are there any spots that get good sun in the morning?" Their answer was "Oh yes sir, there are spots of all kinds...almost anything you want\." I responded "Thats great....I need a place to grow Tomatos and my yard just ain't good for it". They were struck wordless....probably the fist time in that woman's life she was thus inflicted....she was a salesman with a gift. They left pretty quick after the tomato conversation....never heard another word from them.


Effective but not as much as the time the local Baptist church sent their thugs to the door for the 4th Saturday in a row and I answered it butt naked....it took the rest of that summer for those divets to grow back in the yard....
