Curb Appeal

Every year in my neighborhood, a member of the Veteran's of Foreign War comes and paints my curb. They paint a streak of paint on the edge of my curb. A few hours later, they come and stencil my house numbers onto the paint streak. A few hours later, they ring my bell and ask for money. As I came home from work, I saw the curb being painted. At eight o'clock last night my doorbell rang and someone started knocking on the door. It was the kind of knock that a family member makes, but I knew my family was at work. I went to the door and looked out of the peep hole. It was a strange man. I asked who it was and he said, 'Veteran's of Foreign War".  I said I  would not open the door since it was dark and I did not know him. He snapped back in a nasty tone, "I just told you Veteran's of Foreign War". I said that if he left an envelope in my mailbox I would mail in my donation. Again, he snapped back, "We don't do that. We want cash". I then said, "Sorry", and walked away from my door. I would have given a donation but I refuse to give a demand.
