Trick or Treat.

[moonraker558]

If any kids come knocking on my door saying Trick or Treat, am I allowed to say "ummm ok trick" and then throw a bucket of water over them?

[mrs.chappie]

Wire your doorbell up to the mains leccy. That'll teach the bu88ers to demand money with menaces. :o)

[gollysailor]

At least we don't have that Thanksgiving turkey nonsense. Yet!

[joggerjayne]

Yes, we do.

We always do Thanksgiving.

But on the Saturday, not the Thursday.

There's about thirty of us getting together for Thanksgiving this year.

[gollysailor]

What do you do on the 4th of July?

[Arksided]

mrs. chappie, well that's just mean, wasting leccy... If you appear at the door with your avatar as a mask... that'll do the trick.

[joggerjayne]

Why would I do anything on 4th July?

I'm English.

<<at least we don`t have that thanksgiving turkey nonsense yet>> Yes, we do. It`s called Harvest Festival

[Barmaid]

We've had about 420 of the little blighters. (And given away about 15 quids worth of sweets).

I still think the best answer was from a frazzled dad last year:-

Them "Trick or treat?"
Me: "what do I get if I say "trick"?"
Harrassed dad "You get to keep the kids".

[gollysailor]

Pagan nonsense.

I was panicking tonight as I didnt have anything suitable. Stayed upstairs for the first doorbell ring (feeling mightily guilty as I hear young voices). Went downstairs after to look what I could offer. Got together a small bag of crunchy biscuits and a brand new, rather nice, child's jewelled frog key ring. Door bell rang. 2 small people with masks and mum hovering on the pavement. They were both holding small buckets (sandcastle size). me: which of you wants biscuits and which a keyring. Both masks come down a bit and one says to other - you choose. Chooser chooses keyring. Wise choice. Next year I will get some sweets in as it is awful to not want to open the door!

[mrs.chappie]

I just answer the door wearing no make-up. They run off screaming.

[Arksided]

surly not ;-)

[EcclesCake]

I like your style Mrs Chappie!!!

[joggerjayne]

I could sit on my balcony and throw sweets down to the kids as they pass by.

Although, knowing my luck, some kid would get on in the eye,and his parents would come and duff me up.

[Barmaid]

Mwahahaha! Mrs Chappie - the first one caught me having literally just walked through the door after a 2 hour drive on top of a very long day. I think I scared them.

[DrFilth]

not had one caller, if i had no change bet half a dozen would have called

[Arksided]

DrFilth, Just like we used to do, go to one house wait for a while swap mask's out fits (jackets, cloaks) then go back to a paying customer.

I expect Karma to teach me the same with Carol singers... oh no!

[DrFilth]

we had a lot of fireworks going off just after 5-30pm so they must be to busy to make house calls tonight
