However, one year I was a bell ringer for the Salvation Army and this guy walked past me and after I said "Merry Christmas" he turned and asked me if I was Christian. I said "no" and he went balistic. He started telling me I was sac religous and would burn in hell and that I should not be working as a bell ringer. Stomping off he said he would never put money in my pot. Well, ten minutes later he came up said hi and put money into my pot. All I had done during his Christian temper tantrum was smile and continue to be polite.
