Hunky: .Tomorrow is Halloween.Dorie: From what we've been able to learn, it affects small children. Some form of mass hysteria, we think. The affected put on odd clothing and wander the neighborhoods in large numbers. Adults follow along, but can only watch helplessly as small bands of them approach the houses.
Hunky: The Husband and Wife have learned that if you give them candy, they'll go away.
Dorie: The nieces and nephews show up too, also affected by the same hysteria, but it's harder to make them go away. The Wife gives them extra candy and takes their pictures.
Hunky: . Next week gets even stranger. A different hysteria affects adult New Jerseyites - they become voters and go out and select people who will take their money and spend it on the oddest things.
Dorie: ..It's a strange time of year.
