Halloween is a time for kids to dress up and go trick or treat. At least it used to be. In our society today, you are better off not taking children door to door to gather candy. These are scary times. But, Halloween is for scary, right? Dress up in ghost or ghoul costumes and try to frighten someone younger. Don’t try to frighten younger people if you are a grumpy old man. There is risk of bodily injury. They could hurt themselves laughing so hard.
What would really scare Americans on Halloween? I have made a list. You knew I would, so here goes: breweries stopped making beer; all sporting events cancelled; satellite and cable TV shut down; internet interruption; cell phones go dead (that’s an ER event); pizza declared poisonous; and finally, sex in any form declared illegal.
I think I’ve scared myself. I’ll just go and get ready to hand out cans of pork and beans to any trick or treaters that come by my place. Now that’s scary!
