It is upsetting that he spelled “cemetery” wrong.

Heh, last year I had a gag going. In one bowl I had candy treats, the other bowl were human brains. (actually just a thing of canned spaghetti with meatballs) On my porch sat a frankenstein with the top half of his skull cut off. (hence the brains)  
I had both bowls covered up so the trick or treaters couldn’t tell which was which.  
I told them if they wanted candy, they would have to try their luck and hope they chose the right bowl.

The kids loved it. Some kids were so curious that they would stick there hands in the “brain bowl” even though they got the candy one first.

All except for this one lady who told me that this was completely inappropriate for kids. She promptly did an about-face with her kid in tow. :rolleyes:
