I read the BEST Halloween *prank* EVER.
A couple of college students got a door, complete with frame. Installed a knocker on it. Put a hand written sign on it that said "Please knock, bell is broken." Dressed up as elderly people. One even had a walker.
Go up to door on Halloween and ring door bell. Person answers the door with bowl of candy in hand expecting trick or treaters. Is faced, instead, with above described door. Uses knocker as instructed. College boy dressed as old man opens fake door with his own bowl of candy in hand filled with single-wrapped butterscotch hard candies and starts in with ooohs and ahhs and calls the person soooo cute. Calls for Ethel to come look at this one. Ethel appears at door using walker. Does her own ooohs and ahhs, admires the homeowner's costume, prompts them with "now what do you say?" (Makes homeowner say "Trick or treat") and pinches their "cute little cheeks" and hands them a single butterscotch candy. Tells them "Happy Halloween" and closes the fake door.
I.JUST.LOVE.THIS.
Who here does Halloween and how? We used to dress the house up big time but have just kind of slacked off over the years. Between all the churches having their own events (to keep the kids safely away from Satan) and the town having a big trunk Halloween, we just don't get the foot traffic to make it worth the bother any more.

Where are we going and why am I in this hand basket?
