'Trick or treat' supplies already eaten

BRITONS have already eaten the massive amount of sweets they ostensibly bought for trick or treaters.

Despite buying a gratuitous amount of sugary snacks ‘in case any kids knock on the door’, households across the UK reported having consumed the lot.

Mother-of-two Nikki Hollis said: “I thought I was being excessive spending £217 on ghost-shaped Haribo, especially as we live in an 11th floor flat.

“It was almost as if I was subconsciously using Halloween as an excuse to buy sickening amounts of sugary things.

“Anyway I thought I’d better sample one in case it had any dangerous additives and now I’ve eaten the fucking lot.”

Plumber Roy Hobbs said: “We had a well-stocked trick or treat cupboard, but voices in my head kept saying ‘eat another handful of cola bottles’. At first I thought it was my own greed speaking but then I realised it might be powerful Halloween ghosts, so I thought it best to do their bidding.

“The foiled-wrapped chocolate eyeballs full of fondant blood were especially good.”

Your astrological week ahead, with Psychic Bob

It’s been three days since you noticed that you can say the word ‘mulligatawny’ to the tune of ‘have a banana’ and it’s been pretty much all you’ve done since.

Sagittarius (22 NOV-21 DEC)
What part of ‘Piss off’ don’t you understand? Oh, désolé, je ne savais pas. Je vous demande simplement de faire chier.

Capricorn (22 DEC-19 JAN)
If you’re writing the poster for a West End show this week, when using the phrase “Beg, steal or borrow a ticket”, why not add the word ‘buy’ into the sentence?

Don’t know why there’s no sun up in the sky, stormy wea…oh no, it’s three in the morning. My mistake.
