She came running over to me so that we faced each other visor to visor

And she said "Excuse me, I'm out of breath from running down the hill, my name is Bev...,"

and ... I almost reached out to shake her hand, was about to tell her my name's Suzanne

But she interrupted,
"I'm trying to tell as many people as possible...,"

... and I thought,
Uh, oh, maybe someone was mugged or raped nearby, or maybe there's a rat or skunk, or maybe it's that chipmunk.

But she continued, "... about this church I go to in Wauwatosa. I want to invite you ...,"

... and I immediately replied, "I'm not interested."

"May I ask why not"?

... and I immediately replied, "I don't like to have anyone trying to convert me to his religion."

"Well, that's your decision," she snapped, menace in her voice.
