I realised when reading the OP because I had just previously read Brian's post, but only because it mentioned Food Lion (whatever that is)
The problem was that it wasn't particular funny. A potentially good idea that I have seen happen on discussion forums before but not well executed.
It needed to more obviously refer to Brian's first two paragraphs but it also needed a punchline at the end so that the joke was either on Brian or self deprecating humour which I would have gone with.
e.g.
PEOPLE ARE SO RUDE to me when I try to sell them crap in public or knock on their door at their house or even just peer through their bathroom window to see if they are in.
Just now at Food Lion I tried to hand a religious tract to some really angry dude while he was walking in, he walked past me and said, "There is no such thing as a magic man with super powers." I didn't respond, he didn't seem to care, nor was he looking at me when he said it.
I was devastated. Handing out religious tracts is the only way I'm allowed out to meet new people.
