I nearly fell out of my chair when in reading the novel "The Innocent" by Harlan Coben. I came accross this hillarious reference to JW's.
The character referred to is a washed up stripper from Vegas...now playing dive joints in Reno...
The doorbell rang.....Kimmy Dale threw on a robe and opened her bedroom door. The front room had no such sun protection. The glare assaulted her. She sheilded her eyes and blinked. Kimmy did not have a lot of visitors - she never tricked at home - and figured that it was probably a Jehovah's Witness. Unlike pretty much everybody else in the free world, Kimmy did not mind their periodic intrusions. She always invited the religiously rapt into her home and listened carefully, envious that they had found something, wishing she could fall for their line of bull. As with the men in her life, she hoped that this one would be different, that this one would be able to convince her and she'd be able to buy into it.
She opened the door without asking who it was.
"Are you Kimmy Dale?"
The girl at the door was young Eighteen, twenty, something like that. Nope, not a Jehovah's Witness. Didn't have that scooped-out-brain smile. ...
I just got the biggest charge out of this. Thought I'd share it with y'all.
