28-Year-Old
Declares Last Year Of Trick-Or-Treating
SURREY, BC-- Dave Bruce has announced to his friends and family
that this will be his last year of trick-or-treating. The 28-year-old
gas station attendant feels that he is approaching that uncomfortable
age where others will begin to question his maturity.
"There's
nothing like free candy," said David. "But, I'm starting
to feel a tinge of guilt. It may be time to retire the Scooby
[Doo] costume."
Dave said that he may extend his trick-or-treating route this
year to maximize his Hallowe'en candy intake, and is also thinking
about canvassing the Guildford Mall, where merchants will be handing
out treats.

Roman
Candle Fights Just Aren't The Same Anymore
ISSAQUAH, WA-- Dwayne Schaeffer remembers when fireworks packed
a punch, and his parents warned him of their dangers. Dwayne misses
those days when screechers could knock your sister over, and a
roman candle fight could send you to the hospital with second-degree
burns.
"The last roman candle I fired didn't make it over the house.
It's just not fun anymore," said Dwayne, whose wife Debbie
picked up two "Schoolhouse" fireworks on her way home
from shopping yesterday.
"I think I'll just stay inside and watch Cheers repeats,"
said Dwayne in a somber voice.

Thrifty
Hallowe'en Shopper Gets Headstart On Next Year
CLEVELAND-- The smart Christmas shopper starts her Xmas shopping
on Dec.26th. The best deals on wrapping paper, ornaments, and
greeting cards are always to be found on that day when stores
are practically disposing their unsold Christmas merchandise.
Becky
Wright feels the same thriftiness can be applied to Hallowe'en shopping.
"The best candy is bought on November 1st, and it's less than
half-price!" said Becky, mother of two, and part-time daycare
worker. "Most of the chocolate treats I can freeze until next
October, and that Hallowe'en toffee never goes bad."
Every year, Becky is also able to get great deals on Hallowe'en
party supplies, costume make-up, and other spooky paraphernalia
at a fraction of the pre-Hallowe'en cost.

Aboriginal
State Of Affairs
BRITISH COLUMBIA-- The Department of Indian Affairs has been asked
to look into the increased number of aboriginals who are cheating
on their spouses. While most natives are stating that their affairs
are none of their affairs, the government is insisting that these
affairs are affecting the beauroacracy in the affairs dept.
The early numbers suggest that aboriginal males are responsible
for initiating fifty-percent of these affairs.
