    Answered a knock on the door to a young (6 - 7 ish) girl holding a baloon
    on a stick.

    Girl: "Trick or Treat"

    Me: "It's not Halloween yet."

    Girl: "We'll be on holiday in Spain."

    Eh ??

    Sounds like a trick to me.
    I'm trying to decide what to do this year. Should it be a bag of fart
    sweets, ones which turn your tongue blue, or chocolate laxative to hand
    out to the kiddies?

    LOL - that has tickled me .. and my mate on the phone who has just told me
    the following...

    A double-glazing salesmen knocks on a door.
    A young kid opens the door wearing just a silk dressing-gown, holding a lit
    cigar in one hand and a large glass of brandy in the other.

    "Is your mum or dad in?" asks the salesman.

    The kid replies ... "What the **** do you think?"

    All good joke shops. And possibly Woolworths.

    Heh. Sounds just a little drastic to me. Besides, I'd get blood on the
    front of the house. Only once, though, I suspect.

    I think I might actually answer the door to them this year.

    With a large, noisy, barely-restrained German Shepherd for company.

    Probably wouldn't have quite the same effect, I'm sure.

    Nevertheless that's no reason to not do it.

    If you've got a fairly long drive then just rig one to a trip wire, either
    that or get hold of some land mines.

    My ol' dad used to answer the door with his air rifle in his hand,
    "Yeeeeesssss?" Much more of an instant reaction...(Probably get locked up
    for doing that these days though)

    I'd be a bit wary about doing that in Brighton, Simon...

    That reminds me, the other day a girl called at our house to see if we
    wanted double glazing. We said no, so she went away. Next day she turns up
    again and asks the same thing. "Didn't you ask us this yesterday?" we say.
    "Yes, but I work for a different company today."

    It's almost more unbelieveable than a joke.

    Halla was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:
    Depends. If it's the size of a German sheperd and has this bored
    "you're breakfast, matey" looks in its eyes I guess that it would be
    the only visit or this particular sales droid.
