My run in with Scientologists in Times Square

It seems that nearly every time I'm in the Times Square area I run into a person handing out flyers for Dianetics and Scientology. As a rule, I accept flyers from anyone about anything: Cellular phones, strip joints, Jews For Jesus, etc. No problem. I'll graciously accept it. Look it over. Toss it on the trash about a block or two away.

Unless it's from the Church of Scientology. When I was handed a flyer on the corner of 44th Street and Eighth Avenue and noticed what it was I shuddered and DASHED to the nearest trash receptacle. It seems I may have caused some sort of a stir because the girl who handed me the card was glowering at me, telling me I should give it a chance.

Hardly! I have enough in my life without having to give all my money to a crazy cult invented by a mediocre science fiction writer.
