LAS VEGAS, Nev.--On my first day of enumerating I was struggling because everyone on my list for that day were my neighbors and it was awkward trying to use the script on people that I already knew. I eventually came to a house where I did not know who lived there. It was a huge white house with a giant German flag over it with no trespassing signs all over the property. Since we legally aren’t trespassing, I went ahead and rang the doorbell.
There were cameras all over the house also and all of a sudden I hear from a speaker near the door someone screaming at me in German. I was in quite a shock because of the yelling and I couldn’t understand every word so I uttered a feeble “mein duetsche ist nicht so gut” (My German is not so good) to try to get on the guy's good side but the yelling got worse and he eventually came out with a big Mauser gun and I ran as fast as I could.
That was just my first day! --TB
