Jack’s Winning Words 10/29/21

“Where there is no imagination, there is no horror.”  (Arthur Conan Doyle)  I remember being scared while reading  Doyle’s “Hound of the Baskervilles.”  …and I’ve never been able to complete watching the movie, “Silence of the Lambs.”  …too scary for me.  The Halloween, the popular “frightening costumes are Frankenstein Monster, the Devil and the Evil Clown.  When I went trick or treating in the “old days”, we wore masks called, “funny faces.”  We’d never heard of Zombies (today’s scariest mask).  Most people don’t know the “religious” meaning of Halloween…but there is one, but I’ll leave that to your imagination.  BOO!  ;-)  Jack

FROM ST PAUL IN ST PAUL:  sadly, we have turned Halloween into a near disaster for kids today with things becoming a bit too scary even for me.===JACK:  Like with Christmas....the sideshow has become the Main Event.  Halloween has a great story behind it. 

FROM JP IN MERRILL:  I remember Dan and I dressing up as cowboys or soldiers and running around the neighborhood, usually with a couple other pair of brothers who were our ages.

Ahh, the good ole' days!  😉 🎃===JACK:  It was dusk in Merrill, near Halloween, and I passed by a mother and her little boy.  As I  walked by I heard the boy say to his mom, "Is that the Boogie Man.?"  I still laugh about that.===JP:   That's pretty funny.  Thanks for sharing a chuckle. ===JACK:  We all have had those "funny" little things that have happened.  I'll be you've had some, too.
