Halloween is not a widely celebrated event in Singapore. Unlike in western countries, where Halloween is primarily a “kids event” and children of all ages dress up in different costumes and go “trick-or-treating” door-to-door, it’s really the adults that have fun on Halloween. Apparently, it’s an opportunity for fun-loving adults to get drunk and go crazy at costume parties. If I had my way, I’ll probably dress up like this:
With Halloweens coming up, I thought I’d share this post from Coffee Klatch.
Here are some strategies to confuse trick-or-treaters next week:
1. PARTY TIME
Get about 30 people to wait in your living room. When trick-or-treaters come to the door, say, “Come in.” When they do, have everyone yell, “Surprise!!!” Act like it’s a surprise party.2. TIME TO FIX IT
Get everyone who comes to the door to come in and see if they can figure out what’s wrong with your dishwasher. Insist that it makes an unnatural “whirring” sound.3. SO WHO’S PAYING FOR IT
After you give them candy, hand the trick-or-treaters a bill.4. MARINE STYLE
Insist that the trick-or-treaters each do ten push-ups before you give them any candy.5. THE WAITER:
Hand out menus to the trick-or-treaters and let them order their candy. Keep asking if anyone wants to see the entrée menu.6. THE DENTIST
Answer the door dressed as a dentist. Angrily give the trick-or-treaters a two-hour lecture on tooth decay.7. THE PILGRIM
Answer the door dressed as a pilgrim. Stare at the trick-or-treaters for a moment, pretend to be confused, and start flipping through a calendar.
