Stop me if you've heard this one:
This is a true story! A co-worker's sister's son who is 27 and autistic called his father and said, "Dad, I caught something! Dad I caught something! I have it locked in the closet!!" Dad is like, "What is it?" and the son says, "Come home." So the dad comes home to find his son has a census taker LOCKED IN THE CLOSET!!! The census taker is a midget and the son hit him in the head with a frying pan and put him in the closet! The son said he was feeding him Skittles by putting them under the door.

OMG! So that’s what it was – peculiar little humanoid showed up at my door the other day. I’m no sucker, wasn’t fooled by the “Im a census worker” story. Didn’t use a frying pan though – I have pepper spray and plastic handcuffs.

Skittles? You mean I have to feed this thing? I’d have to open the closet door and remove the handcuffs. I think I’ll just try to get some bids for it on eBay.

(Just kidding – I turned in my census form and explained that to the two normal-looking census workers who came around to follow up.)
