Well, Halloween is upon us again. Time for that classic tradition of having kids dress up and ask their neighbors to give them candy... or else.
I am of course talking about trick or treat.
In the old days, the kids would play pranks on any holdouts who refuse to give them anything. Now, they just cry or call them names and make them feel bad. But the essence remains the the same. Hand over the sweets or we'll let you have it.
Which, curiously, is just how criminal protection rackets work. Pay up or we mess up your business or home.
