October Pledge


This morning my wife and I took a solemn pledge that no bag of Halloween candy shall be opened until the evening of Halloween because an early opening, however slight, invites barbarism and the fall of civilization.

I admit that I bought our Halloween candy a week ago, and it may (or may not) have already been opened and sampled. Let the barbarians invade. :-)

CincyCat,

"[I]t may (or may not) have been opened and sampled."

My money is on the Has Been Sampled, although "sampled" may imply restraint.
