I’ve always enjoyed Halloween costume parties. Seeing the costumes that people select for themselves is sometimes revealing. Not physically revealing (although that can be interesting at times). We didn’t attend a party this year, but the office sponsored a costume contest. That’s me as The Headless Man in the image below. If that reveals anything about me, I don’t know what it is.
My coworkers had some interesting costumes. You can see the rest of them on the company’s web site.
I like Halloween jokes, too. Like, “Is it coincidence that Halloween and Election Day are just a week apart?” One shudders to think.
My favorite, though, is this old riddle:
Q: Why do programmers mix up Halloween and Christmas?
A: Because DEC 25 = OCT 31
A geek joke, for sure, but a good one.
