Hello and welcome to the Dogpound, where we have a surprise edition – at least a surprise to me, since I thought I was ahead of the game by two weeks, but something strange happened in the universe and one or more of my sterling efforts disappeared into hyperspace or at least into the same black hole my 401k has stumbled into. Sigh! Anyway, I am up to the challenge.
So this would be the Halloween article, the time of the year when we get to pretend to be something we are not. Then again, that is a normal day at work! I go to work every day dressed up as a professional Materials Manager and my cohorts at work pretend that I am someone else who sits in the office and makes material appear on demand. Sort of like a modern-day Harry Potter sans the cloak and crooked wand.
But I must say, there are days when that wand would come in very handy. I know a few co-workers who would look very nice with a pig’s snout. Again, another sigh!
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
“Fear grows in darkness; if you think there’s a bogeyman around, turn on the light.” Dorothy Thompson [But not too long; remember the electric bill!]
HALLOWEEN QUICKIES
• What do you get when you cross a vampire and a snowman? Frostbite.
• Why do witches use brooms to fly on? Because vacuum cleaners are too heavy.
• How do witches keep their hair in place while flying? With scare spray.
• Do zombies eat popcorn with their fingers? No, they eat the fingers separately.
• Why don’t skeletons ever go out on the town? Because they don’t have any body to go out with.
GROANER
Hans and Stein were playing in their yard in Zurich when one of the boys accidentally swallowed a coin and started choking. Hans ran inside to get help, yelling “Mom! Dad! Come quick! There’s a franc in Stein!”
MOAN
On the morning of Halloween, the teacher told the class, “We’ll have only half a day of school this morning.” The children cheered. Then she said, “And we’ll have the second half this afternoon.” This time the children moaned!
I have done my additional duties for the evening prior to the witching hour, but not by much. As always be good, play safe, and remember darkness makes things go “bump.”
