Trick or Treat

The first of the trick or treaters were out last night. Two within 5 minutes both using a new type of rhyme. In my day it was:
"Halloween is coming and the goose is getting fat,
please put a penny in the old man's hat,
If you haven't got a penny, a ha(lf)penny will do,
if you haven't got a ha(lf)penny,
god bless you."
These urchins last night came to the door and said:
Trick or Treat,
Smell my feet,
Give me something nice to eat.

I heard a great one a while back for giving to trick or treaters.
Chocolate covered brussel sprouts!!

I would give them some 'special' Rum Truffles. The kids love it because they think they're dead hard getting alcohol. What they don't realise until it's too late is that you have added the seeds from half a dozen red chillis! The rum also masks the faint smell of chilli so they really don't suspect it.

I'm waiting for Sweem to get on here and tell us of how he fills Fererro Rochers with rat poison or something...

Fererro Rochers, what the fuck? That is too expensive, give them what they think is Sherbert, but it is actually Angel Dust. That would do the trick.

LOL, Angel Dust,I dread to think what the wee kids in my street would do with that coursing through their veins.

I wonder if we could get anywhere by creating an amazon wishlist and then going round other peoples blogs and leaving comments like "Hallowe'en is coming and the goose is getting fat..." along with a link to the wishlist. We could pick on Americans, they're usually dumb and rich. And if they don't pay up, we sign them up for spam or something. I'm like Hannibal with my plans...

Give the annoying ones who don't put any effort in laxative sweets. Takes a while to work, but at least you get the last laugh.
