The sign "No Soliciting" can be interpreted as a plea to the passing population to "Please Knock on the Door, And offer me items containing the word or idea of "no"."

Examples: No Smoking"signs, "No Running or Diving" signs. All manner of stuff containing the word no offered wholesale. Even "No Soliciting" signs.

------

After you had a laugh and you sense the mood is right you mention your regular line of products.

( And if you see a shotgun and pitbull dog, just move down the street to the next "no soliciting" sign. )

"As a matter of fact, I did see the sign, good sir. It says 'No-soliciting allowed', so I'm soliciting 'No' as requested. Perhaps your sign should say 'Soliciting is prohibited on these premises'"?

Unimaginative and barely even an idea. [-]

Variants would include a politician named "no vote", a person named "no" who "could" park where others are disallowed, and a brand of cigarettes named "No"

The first one to make this basic joke in a somewhat more entertaining form was Ulysses when he told Polyphem that his name was Nobody. When later on Polyphem cried out loud that Nobody had hurt him his neighbours all returned to bed. As we will after seeing this joke in its ump-teenth disguise.

'I ain't got nobody, and nobody cares for me" ?

Just a pleasure to get this out of my head. Every time I'd see a No Soliciting sign this crazy idea would spout out with some tiny variation. Then I'd lose my train of thought, and have to scurry around to get it back.

"Good riddance" say I.

I have a couple of Vietnamese coworkers with the last name Ngo (pronounced 'No). One of the brothers has (and this is unusual for a first name) the first name Nguyen (pronounced 'win'), so I often call him Ngo Nguyen just to piss him off.

I assume his brother would be Ngo Phi, [21Q] and they have opened a plaintiff personal injury law firm?

//last name Ngo (pronounced 'No)

Victims of letter French people do the transliteration. On the the other hand saying 'Bangkok' is a lot easier than saying 'Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit.'
