As the week winds down, we wind down with some tidbits for your information, education, health, and enjoyment.
Quote of the Week: “On Halloween, the parents sent their kids out looking like me.â€Â Rodney Dangerfield
Humor Break: Please tell me I didn’t post these:
Don’t bother inviting the Invisible Man to your Halloween party. He won’t show up. Sometimes he makes excuses, but they’re all transparent.
One witch told another witch, “I want one of those new computers that has a spell checker.”
You don’t have to worry about Daylight Savings Time at Halloween. The holiday is always on Green Witch Mean Time.
Vampire pick-up line: “What’s your type?”
A vampire joined the police force so he could learn the correct way to get a stakeout.
And from out lovely married couple:
Al to his wife as she returns from handing out treats at the door: “Hey Bev, I thought you were going to wear that scary mask when you answered the door for the trick-or- treaters.”
Bev: “I am.”
Stat of the Week: Today we post some totally useless facts AND wish you a safe Halloween:
Guinness World Records officially recognized a new heaviest pumpkin weighing an incredible 1,810.5 lb (821 kg).
Pumpkins were not always associated with Halloween. Initially, turnips were used. Pumpkins replaced them because they are easier to carve than turnips.
As for Halloween trick-or-treating, that is derived from Middle Ages, when the poor would go door-to-door asking on All Hallows Day to ask for food before All Souls Day, Nov. 2.
Action Tip: Before you let the kids go out Halloween night, read these safety and health tips from your government.Â
Volunteering: Halloween is a ghoul time to remind people to give blood. Only 3 out of every 100 Americans donate. Be a hero. American Red Cross. Vampires need not apply.
