Trick And Treat

I've been perusing The College Fix for the past half hour. They)conservative site)have quite a few articles on what not to wear for Halloween parties. In essence, it's imperative that poor wilted personalities don't have their feelings hurt.

As an example, the only ones allowed to wear costumes of a particular minority are the ones who belong to it. If you aren't a Mexican don't come close to anything from South of the Border and that includes a pinata even if your body is stuffed with candy.

The Univ. of Florida has set up a national 800 hotline for anyone who feels as though they've had their feelings hurt. Florida will put them in touch with the proper psychologists.

Obviously, dressing as an Indian is a no go. The same goes for nurses. The reasoning being they spend so much time studying for their vocation dressing nursing garb is disrespectful. Dressing as  hobo is also ixnay. It's cruel to make fun of the homeless.

I was thinking about putting on my fire hydrant costume until I thought about my pooch, Fido. If he thought he was leaking on a fake it might put him in a doggie psychiatric ward.

The sad part is each and every parent will have to think twice or thrice about what to drape around their kids. They'll call neighbors and if still in a quandry the correctness police.
