You can never have too many skeletons
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Sorry, couldn't help myself.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

When I was in the service - one of the guys got his wife to make him Klansman robes and he wore them to the Halloween party......
He was black.
He kept the mask up most of the time.
Even the CO thought it was funny.

The people that invented candy corn belong in Guantanamo Bay.
Why did you carve that pumpkin? What did that pumpkin ever do to you?
I think funerals are boring, they should play Michael Jackson's Thriller while the casket gets lowered into the ground.
If you have to work on Halloween does that mean you work on a skeleton crew?

Do any of you dress your pets for Hallowe’en? If ‘no’, thank you. If ‘yes’, in what other ways do you degrade and humiliate the poor beasties?

No. The most that's ever happened was a themed bandana after a trip to the groomer but that stopped years ago. Karm had Halloween bows put on her ears one time, it took about 15 seconds after we got home from the groomer for her to rub her head on the ground in a successful attempt to rid herself of the bows.
