"What Happens When You Run Out Of Halloween Ideas"
The neighbors complain that I'm too big to be coming to their doors
with my Trick or Treat bag.
Too bad I don't drink anymore.
Alcohol really helped my Halloween enthusiasm.
Lately, if I dress up for the occasion,
it's not in a regular costume...
It's just some flotsam and jetsam from the back of the closet.
I hate it when people ask me what I'm supposed to be.
My sister sent us this note"
"I am going to wear a costume
to hand out tricks or treats to the neighborhood kids as I usually do,
however, this year I'm going to have to make do
with half of one costume and half of another, since money is tight.
I have part of a "Grim Reaper" suit and half of a duck outfit
so I'm going as....... 'The Grim Duck'.
Happy Halloween! Love, Val"
I'm sure that hers will be better than our recent attempts.
Misty was sort of a Dolly Parton,
and I was some kind of gangster/dentist.
