How serious was Harry's little "mistake?"

[TheInvisibleDan]

A few years ago, a friend and I were hired to clean out a 90 year old man's attic, where we stumbled upon a box containing a KKK robe with the cone hat (with leather flaps), along with a few rascist tracts. An interesting peek into the historical, dark underbelly of a small northeastern town, to be sure.

Shortly thereafter, my kooky friend came knocking at the door on Halloween, wearing that stupid KKK outfit.

Well, some people do dress up as monsters on Halloween, and that was a good one.

Needless to say, he didn't go trick 'n treating in any black neighborhoods.

Though the fact that there weren't really that many blacks living in that particular town in CT. at the time perhaps makes that costume all the more scarier.

O Dannotobeseen...reminds me of a costume party I went to during my TWI time...it was a "biblical" costume party. When I showed up in a habit, complete with rosary, etc. they were stumped as to who I was supposed to be...

I said to let me in, that I was, biblically speaking, Joshua's mom...

...they were perplexed.

'Tilda - That is too funny!

Not to derail this, but I knew someone who had a basset hound named "Spirit". For Halloween they put a t-shirt on him that had "You Know Me"...

...he was a "familiar Spirit".....
