many years ago I used to use a similar trick to scare away the Jehovah's Witness types who used to come to my door with their kids so neatly dressed in their sunday best ... (to try and keep people from swearing at the adult and slamming a door in their face)

I've never yet seen humans leave a vapor trail in their wake ... but some of those JW's were coming close to it
Theodoric - You wouldn't scare ME (or my kid dressed in his Sunday best) away so easily.
To Almy and quidam - trust me, people answer the door wearing all sorts of stuff (seen it all) or *not*, as the case may be. Many times not realizing that there are mirrors on the wall behind them as they cower behind the door.
Nya! Maybe I should *knock* next time wearing my neko ears...hmmmm.
... but not just cats
