A disgustedly-sarcastic reference to a door-to-door salesman who never actually reveals his real name or what outfit he works for because he does not want to be sued for harassment or misrepresentation of his products' quality/effectiveness --- think, the salesman at Dagwood's door who solemnly proclaims, "If I am lying about this product, may lightning stroke me down!", but then shakily confides to the audience in an aside, "Every time I say that, it could be my last."
I am so sick of all these visits from Miss Avonymous --- what recourse do I have if her skin-care products don't turn out to so good as she claims, if she won't give me any info about herself or the company she represents??
