The true candy conspiracy is that Hershey's, Mars, and other Candy Manufacturers created this Urban Legend so that they could increase profits.

Oh geez, I never thought of that Linda. I wonder how Prof's doing? Maybe making sure his supply of valium is in his briefcase.

As usual you can't read kraft... better get back to handing out candy... something you may have some skill at...
Who knows what these guys are supposed to be this Halloween.
A couple was invited to a swanky masked Halloween party. She got
a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party
alone. He, being a devoted husband, protested, but she argued and
said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed, and there
was no need for his good time to be spoiled by not going. So he
took his costume and away he went.
The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, awakened
without pain; and, as it was still early, decided to go to the
party. In as much as her husband did not know what her costume
was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband
to see how he acted when she was not with him.
She joined the party and soon spotted her husband cavorting
around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice chick he could
and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there. His wife
went up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left
his partner high and dry and devoted his time to the new stuff
that had just arrived.
She let him go as far as he wished, naturally, since he was her
husband. Finally he whispered a little proposition in her ear and
she agreed, so off they went to one of the cars and had a little
bang. Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away and
went home and put the costume away and got into bed, wondering
what kind of explanation he would make for his behavior.
She was sitting up reading when he came in and asked what kind of
a time he had. He said, "Oh, the same old thing. You know I never
have a good time when you're not there." Then she asked, "Did you
dance much?"
He replied, "I'll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I
got there, I met Pete, Bill, George and some other guys, so we
went into the den and played poker all evening. But I'll tell
you....The guy I loaned my costume to sure had a real good time.

I figured it out years ago. First, I confiscate and take home all the candy they bring to school. At least the chocolate. The rest goes in the trash where it belongs.They've been warned about it. "You know candy and junk is against the rules. If I take it away, you have no right to get it back, I'll eat the good stuff and throw the rest out, so leave your haul at home on Monday."
Second, I carefully explain to them that the idea that kids can't control their behavior due to too much sugar is largely anecdotal and isn't supported by most research done on normally healthy kids. So their excuse for acting goofy goes out the window. Their parents can excuse their rowdiness and blame it on candy if they want to, but the science isn't really there for them... They're still responsible for their behavior, I don't care what they ate.
This method also works for the dumbest holiday of all, Valentine's day.

What did everyone give out for Halloween? Candy, or in some cases maybe a nickel or dime? Maybe in the rich neighborhoods a quarter.
I was searching on the net in some christain web sites. Many of the posters there said they would never allow their kin-der to participate in what they think is devil worship. Some think they would use the occasion to their best interest. Instead of giving candy, they would give out small booklets with bible verses on them.
I think next year, I will give out a nice little packet of information to the kiddies. It will be a plastic Wicca star and a booklets telling how christians tortured, burned, drowned and hung anyone who didn't follow the "correct religion".
