Empty-Handed on Halloween




My smartass friend made himself 

up as Jehovah's Witness



(complete with handouts) 

and went door to door trick-or-treating.

And what happened?








Everyone turned out their

lights and pretended they

weren’t home!










So there you go.

No tricks.

And no treats.

Think he’d have better luck,

if he tried it on Halloween?

  1. Halloween first started with Prostitutes - during the Great Abstinence of 1267 the Ladies of the Night were unable to make a living 'turning tricks' for cash. After hiring some fast-talking advertising hotshots, they devised a plan to reinvigorate there business by expanding their business to also selling a range of sweets. This was called Trick or Treats.
    One things for sure - don't eat the treats.
