In response to last week’s question, " On Halloween, how do you know if
someone is wearing a costume?," my dad's beach buddy Bob suggested, "look them straight in the eye to see who blinks first" while my temple friend Bob repied, "If they're carrying a bag of candy, it's a costume."
My temple friend Richard pointed out:
(1) If the person is under 5 feet
tall, it’s a costume.
(2) If the person
is dressed as a movie character or celebrity, it’s a costume.
(3) If the person
is dressed as a zombie, requests brains, accepts candy when offered, it’s a
costume.
(4) If the person is dressed as a zombie, requests brains,
rejects the candy, and repeats the request for brains…. Run like hell. It isn’t
a costume
My sister-in-law Lorrie advised, "Only if they are not dressed like a clown," while my dental friend Ted added, "You really don't know-I know plenty of people that dress like
Bozo The Clown every day. Just keep it to yourself and throw them some candy
and my business card in the bag -Edward A Chipps DDS)."
My
engineering friend Steve declared, "With the new PC rules I didn’t think costumes
were allowed. I can’t find anything on
Snopes that says it’s a hoax either.
(See infographic at bottom.)"
My college
roomie John asserted, "To go
with the political campaign, politicians seem to always be wearing a costume, especially the
scary clown costume!" to which my IT services friend Kosol concluded, "You find out just like my buddy Donald T does. Grab them by the
"P$&@!" ? Lol. Or you can pull a Bill Cosby."
Please send me your thoughts about this week's "things that
make you go 'Hmmm' ":
Do you prefer a trick or a treat?
Live well...laugh often and
heartily.... have a good week and never regret anything that made you smile

Have a fun Halloween and best wishes to the
MLB's Cubbies (and Indians).
Thanks to Demetri Martin, Steven
Wright and George Carlin for the inspiration for Hmmm. I invite you
to call or email me so I can share what I'm up to.
