Sign Language

I awoke around 11 on this quiet, rainy Sunday morning, poured myself a glass of water, and took a walk to my living room to admire the azalea bushes blooming in my front yard. Of course, I saw the For Sale sign, which I expected to see in our yard, but I saw the back of another sign that someone had posted. Although it was raining, it bothered me that there was a sign out there and I could not see its contents. (Perhaps, it was an old college buddy letting the world know "[Feanor] is gay.") Anyway, [Feanor] was curious, and took a little walk outside. I was shocked by what I saw:

THANK YOU FOR VISITING [NAME OF CHURCH]

Some lady had given my brother a $75 tip and asked him to visit the church. Being the [insulting terms here] that he is, he went and apparently gave out our address. Apparently, these people don't care if you own the place or if someone else does, or if you own the place whether you want a sign put in your yard without your consent. I'm trying to sell a house, here. I don't want some other sign to attract attention. At least some of these aggressive churches give signs to their members to put in their own yards.

I guess you always have to be on guard when you give your address - or someone else's address - to people. You never know what they have planned.
