Jack-O-Lanterns

What would Halloween be without the traditional Jack-o-Lantern on the porch? Hmm, the answer used to be “dark”, but every house around here that has a Jack-o-Lantern also has strings of orange and purple lights now. But traditional still rules, so even though half the pumpkins are plastic, they are there and waiting for trick-or-treaters. I started writing on pumpkins early this year, because my garden produced a dozen of them! A few have rotted since, and Princess took one to school. There are still eight on the porch.

Why Pumpkins are Better than Men
Each year you get a brand new crop to choose from.
They are always on the doorstep there waiting for you.
No matter what your mood is, pumpkins are always ready to greet you with a smile.
One usually makes a good pie.
So round, so firm, so fully packed!
But just like real men, as they age they grow soft and sweet... just before they rot.

Why do jack-o-lanterns have stupid smiles on their faces?
You'd have a stupid smile, too, if you had just had all your brains scooped out!
Two pumpkin pies are in the oven, and one pie says to the other pie, “Are they really going to eat us?”
And the other pie says, “OH MY GOD A TALKING PIE!”
The Pumpkin Plunge
At a fall festival in Aurora, Oregon, a nearly 1,000 pound pumpkin was dropped onto a bus. Why? For fun!

Thought for today: If the jack-o lantern on your porch has more teeth than you do, you just might be a redneck.
