Halloween fun
Here are three short Halloween stories from Opossum Sally's, a random Web site I found. One is about a clever costume, one is about a grammar ghost, and the last is about how to get three times as much candy. Enjoy!
Clever Costume
My son-in-law Matt has a great-looking Darth Vader mask. One year at Halloween, a friend asked if he could borrow it. Matt agreed, and on Halloween night, his friend came by to pick it up. Matt was surprised that his friend was dressed in his usual attire of jeans and a flannel shirt, with the addition of a black cowboy hat.
"Where's your costume?" Matt asked.
"This is it," his friend replied.
"Well, what are you supposed to be?" Matt inquired.
His friend answered, "Darth Brooks."
Grammar Ghost
One dark night two men were walking home after a party and decided...
...to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs.
Right in the middle of the cemetery they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows.
Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel,
chipping away at one of the headstones.
"Holy cow, Mister," one of them said after catching his breath,
"You scared us half to death we thought you were a ghost!
What are you doing working here so late at night?"
"Those fools!" the old man grumbled. "They misspelled my name!"
Candy x 3
One Halloween a trick-or-treater came to my door dressed as "Rocky", in boxing gloves and satin shorts. Soon after I gave him some goodies, he returned for more.
"Aren't you the same 'Rocky' who left my doorstep several minutes ago?" I asked.
"Yes," he replied, "but now I'm the sequel. I'll be back three more times tonight, too."
