Halloweener

I'll do anything to avoid doing what I have to do.

I bought 26 dollars worth of candy and parked in the living room and waited for the parade of ingrates to come to my door for handouts.

I thought I was going to have to eat all the candy myself, but eventually, some kids came through the rain, most of them in actual costumes (for once) and some of them actually enthusastic.

Well sir, they got about half of the bowlful. Normally, I have to keep a ruler handy to whack the little buggers' hands when they over-grab. These trick or treaters where very polite, if surly.

"How many shall I take?" I was asked.

"Take a bunch." I said. And because I am a health care ptofessional I said, "brush your teeth!"
