If you chose to wear a costume that is warm enough for the chilly weather.

If you get bored going from door to door after the first block.

If you refuse to eat any candy that might damage your dental work.

If you ask for high-fiber, organic candy, please.

If people say: "Great geezer mask" and you're not wearing one.

If you have a bag full of restraining orders by the end of the night.

If you'd prefer a cold beer instead of a candy bar.

 If you're the only Power Ranger in the neighborhood with a driver's license.

If you remember who the Power Rangers are.

You have to be home from trick or treating before Wheel of Fortune starts.
You get winded between houses and need to stop for breaks.
You trick or treat on your Hoverround.
You have to create a costume around your oxygen tank.
You ring the doorbell with your cane.

You avoid going to houses where your ex-wives live.
(variation lol) People say: "Great Keith Richards mask!," And you're not wearing a mask.
When the door opens you yell, "Trick or ..." and can't remember the rest.
You have to have a kid chew the candy for you.
You lose your teeth bobbing for apples at Halloween parties.

I was thinking of dressing up and going trick or treating this year.  My problem is that it gets dark too damn early.  I'd get lost in my own neighborhood, and possibly hit by a car
