Halloweens of past

I went to the 5:01 club and met The Puzzler for a quaff or two.

We always get smarter after imbibing a couple and we started reminiscing about the Halloweens of our youth. I mentioned that at the Amana store, the ladies behind the counter stopped selling eggs to any teenage boy a day or two before Halloween in an effort to curb the rampant vandalism. I, of course, would not do the egg gig anyway. Water balloons was the weapon of my choice.

He mentioned that his favorite trick was to fill a paper sack with manure and then light it on the porch of someone you particularly didn't like and ring the door bell and run like hell. I think this was limited to Waverly.

To go along with the bag he always had toilet paper to put in someone's tree.

In the old days, Detroit would burn for days...things are getting softer and gentler now.

That's a good thing.
