STRATEGIES TO CONFUSE TRICK-OR-TREATERS

For those of you from countries where Halloween is not celebrated, Trick-or-treating is where children who are dressed up in costumes walk from house to house or apartment to apartment saying "Trick or Treat" and the they are generally given candy.

1. PARTY TIME Get about 30 people to wait in your living room. When trick-ortreaters come to the door, say, "Come in." When they do, have everyone yell, "Surprise!!!" Act like it's a surprise party.
2. TIME TO FIX IT Get everyone who comes to the door to come in and see if they can figure out what's wrong with your dishwasher. Insist that it makes an unnatural "whirring" sound.
3. SO WHO's PAYING FOR IT After you give them candy, hand the trick-or-treaters a bill.
4. MARINE STYLE Insist that the trick-or-treaters each do ten push-ups before you give them any candy.
5. THE WAITER: Hand out menus to the trick-or-treaters and let them order their candy. Keep asking if anyone wants to see the wine list.
6. DAVID AND GOLIATH: Get a catapult. Sit on your porch and catapult pumpkins at anyone who comes within 50 yards of your house.
7. THE DENTIST Answer the door dressed as a dentist. Angrily give the trick-ortreaters a two-hour lecture on tooth decay.

8.THE PILGRIM
Answer the door dressed as a pilgrim. Stare at the trick-or-treaters for a moment, pretend to be confused, and start flipping through a calendar.
