Seriously?
I asked someone here in New Orleans if she had her joke prepared for trick-or-treating.
She replied with a blank stare.
Then I found out: it just may be a St. Louis-created ritual!
It looks like Des Moines does it too, but is it possible that this is a St. Louis original?

My dad is from Chicago and was totally dumbfounded his first Halloween with my mom's family when all the kids told jokes. My folks have since moved to Lawrence and when they were telling a young mom about the STL tradition of telling a joke to get candy, a bunch of the parents thought they'd start that in the neighborhood! I must admit I was disappointed last year when I had a lot of kids just reaching in and grabbing candy.
