It doesn't inspire confidence

I had a guy knock on my door while I was cooking breakfast. He says he' s from ____________ Tree Services - and wanted to know if I would be interested in selling " that Chinese Elm" down the hill behind my barn. ( big tree - over 100 foot, visible from the road).

I told him I wasn't interested - and neither would he be - as it' s not an elm - but is a tulip poplar. 

He wanted to argue with me.

A senseless argument in my book - but I figured some here might like it.

I shut the door on the guy.

I' m not letting a moron who doesn't know the difference between a poplar and an elm on my property with a chainsaw.

Will you let him in now?

If I had been in that movie - it'd been much shorter.

Being alone in the boonies had taught me to answer the door with a foot braced on the door, and my right hand free to my side to allow for a quick draw.

Did he say how much he going to offer? I'd at least hear him out.

A guy that dumb is almost certainly without liability insurance. The tree is big enough to squash three buildings that are close enough.

No way in hell I' m letting him drop it.

Hey, if he pays in advance, and it was worth it, I'd certainly consider it.

If he offered you like $2, then it'd be a door slam for sure.
