Re: annoying gits!
25 years ago (back when digital watches were still a pretty neat idea) the Jehovah's Witnesses called at stupid-o-clock on a Saturday morning. I'd never seen them before, & didn't know this was how they worked, so instead of hiding I answered the door. When they started talking I didn't immediately recognise the sales patter, so I made the mistake of engaging them in conversation.
They were itching to get away before long. If you've seen that episode of Father Ted where Dougal manages to convert a bishop to Atheism, you'll know what I mean.
One of them said "I see you're wearing a digital watch- don't you think that's a testament to the glory of God, that he gives mankind the creativity an intellect to dream up things like that. It's not as if you could put all the bits in a jar, shake it up and out comes a digital watch."
"Yes you could."
"Wha...?"
"There's a statistical probability that you could shake up all the bits and it would make a watch. Sure, it's low, but it's possible."
I can't remember what excuses they made to leave, but that was the one that did it.
