As if Halloween isn’t enough fun gorging yourself on candy (#busted) and scoping out the adorable-ness of all those little cuties who will be ringing your doorbell with the hopes that you still have some candy to give away, we also get to hear jokes. I’m not sure how this tradition started in St. Louis. As someone who’s lived in New Jersey, Chicago, Alabama and Texas, I’ve never heard jokes on Halloween…until I moved to St. Louis. Guess it’s just another one of those “only in St. Louis” traditions that are so much fun!
Who’s kids (besides mine, that is!) are already planning out their Halloween costumes? Anyone going trick or treating as Ant-Man? How about a massive Transformer named Bumblebee? Or what about a spotted red ladybug or brightly colored butterfly? Regardless of what they’re dressing up as, one thing they’ll definitely need is a joke! Here are some of our favorites. (Can you spot the theme???)
