Reverse Trick or Treat
Malcom "Mal" Reynolds
unnecessary calories and tooth decay to
people I don't know deprives me of the
chance to acquire those unnecessary
calories and tooth decay for me and mine.
So, I have my bag at the ready and when
they ring my doorbell I open in a rush
and shout "trick or treat" garnering
confused looks. But I don't give candy
until I get candy.

Neither do I, but I love chocolate,
especially when it's free

Excellent.
We stopped buying the stuff when the kids stopped coming around.
It's a real shame that parents think they have to take their kids to shopping
malls now instead of letting them run loose terrorizing the neighbors for miles
around.
Kids these days...

There's never been a better time to vote libertarian.

I have my Polk HS jacket and football ready to go as Al Bundy. The
thirteen year old will have a Pink Ladies jacket from the movie
Grease. When I was a kid, the folks gave out pennies. That avoided any
complaints of bad food and many kids circled back for seconds. A few
years ago when the kid was nine or ten, we went down the block to this
house where the bushes were well decorated. The owner/adult jumped out
of the bushes to scare my kid and she instinctively gave him a kick
where it hurts. HA HA HA I was so pleased and we still talk about it..

Until I quit, I used to give out cigarettes. The glee in the little
ankle-bitters' faces when I had them line up - full flavored to the
right and menthol to the left and ultra-lights for the pre-schoolers.
You'd be surprise to see how many kids would come back for seconds on
the parents' urging.
For great effect I like to go to the supermarket and buy just a bag
of apples and a box of razor blades. When the cashier gives you that
questioning look, just explain you have that holiday spirit and leave
it at that.
I have been quit for 1 Year, 6 Months, 5 Days, 8 hours, 41 minutes and
43 seconds (553 days). I have saved $2,086.27 by not smoking 11,067
cigarettes. I have saved 1 Month, 1 Week, 1 Day, 10 hours and 15
minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 4/11/2008 7:32 AM
