Once, I did this at the World's Fair. A Hari Krishna approached me and my friend, his hand out, offering us free incense. I grabbed it from his hand, said "Thank You!" and kept walking. He followed us for a couple of minutes asking for a "donation" but I kept telling him that he said it was free.

He said, "Mr. X, Im not here to sell you anything, but I am here to give you this book absolutely free".
My grandfather reached over, took the book & as he thumbed through the pages asked, "for free?", and the salesman said, "absolutely"! My grandfather said "thanks" & in a flash slammed the door! The enraged salesman screamed & howled while beating on the door for a long time before finally giving up.
