1) The Mormons believe that the President of the Mormon Church is in constant contact with God. So, when the Mormons came a-knocking he would invite them into their house. Then he'd say something like:
"You know, we used to live in Salt Lake City. (this would rouse their attention). Yes, we lived next door to the President of the Church. (yet more rapturous attention). But, the thing was, the messages from God wouldn't come down in a cylinder shape. They would come down more like a cone shape, and some of it would land on our house."
At this point, the missionaries' jaws were wide open (no one said they weren't believers) and his wife would come out and tell him to knock it off.
2) During the late 70s and 80s, a lot of missionaries came from non-English-speaking countries. So, they would have memorize their entire schpiel. If one of the foreign-born Mormons would come a-knockin, about 2/3 of the way thru the schpiel the husband would interrupt and ask a bunch of questions. This would totally fluster the missionary, at which point all he or she could do is start from the beginning.
Granted, I think this person had a lot of free time on his hands, but still, these are pretty funny.

YOU KNOW WHAT actually, they have a scripture in Doctrine & Covenants that says if you offer you hand to an evil spirit, they won't shake it. Missionarios always start out with the handshake, so once I kept my hand by my side and said, "I'm sorry, I can't shake your hand." They got THE FEAR and immediately left.
