Halloween. Now, let’s just start this off by saying I don’t celebrate this holiday. After doing research on it, I have determined that this is something I can’t honestly back. However, I love candy. Also, I still think today can be fun. For instance, my church used to have a party on the 31st called “Harvest Fest” where you dressed up as Bible characters and played games. There was a contest…a costume contest, that was done every year. The last year we ever did the Harvest Fest, I won the costume contest. I was Moses and I had these big tablets for the ten commandments. The kicker was that I was one of three Moses’ there so I when I won, I really won. On Friday, I hope there’s plenty of weird news of trick-or-treat incidents. Wouldn’t that be swell?

A cab driver picks up a nun. She gets into the cab, and the cab driver won’t stop staring at her.

She asks him why he is staring.

He replies: “I have a question to ask you, but I don’t want to offend you”.

She answers, “My son, you cannot offend me. When you’re as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I’m sure that there’s nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.”

“Well, I’ve always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.”
She responds, “Well, let’s see what we can do about that. But first, you have to be single and you must be Catholic.”
The cab driver is very excited and says, “Yes, I’m single and Catholic!”

“OK” the nun says. “Pull off to the side of the road, “maybe we will see what we can do.”

The nun plants a whopper of a kiss on the cabbie! But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

“My dear child,” said the nun, why are you crying?”
“Forgive me, but I’ve sinned. I lied. I must confess, I’m married and I’m Jewish.”

The nun says, “That’s OK, my name is Kevin and I’m going to a Halloween party.”

Welp, I’m sure this isn’t the first time we’re hearing about this. But, it won’t be the last either. A woman told her local radio station that she’ll be giving out candy…and a stern letter for the kids’ parents too. Mercy. But wait, this is for obese kids. Lawd have mercy.

“I am not denying any of the kids candy,” she said. “I am just hoping the parents are going to read this and think about it while they watch their kids get into bigger and bigger sizes of clothes,” according to a recording of the radio show. “As far as we know Cheryl is a local Fargo woman that thinks it is her mission to watch out for the overweight children of Fargo,” radio host Corey Schaffer said Wednesday.

The whole story is here and she explains what the letter says.

That’s all for today.
