I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.

Where I live trick-or-treating is never on Halloween, but the Sunday before. We have it from 3-5, so no after dark fun for the kiddies. I handed out candy and saw a whopping 8 kids. It was a little depressing, but I'll just eat the leftover chocolate to get over it.

Just four kids in a bunch this year, and one of them turned up his nose at our maltesers and mars bars.

We had mulled wine (and fireworks) so we were okay... :twisted:

I remember a version of that joke told by my cousin Alan many years ago. As I recall the guy pulls out a box of cough drops and says "Ludens cough drops! Guaranteed to stop any coughin'!"

Yeah, well...I guess you had to be there.

Tell us something.: I've picked up the tinwhistle again after several years, and have recently purchased a Chieftain v5 from Kerry Whistles that I cannot wait to get (why can't we beam stuff yet, come on Captain Kirk, get me my Low D!)
