skeletons

A few nights ago I ordered a personal pan pizza at Pizza Hut. As I waited for this oily, mouth scalding treat... I recognized the five Halloween decorations, that were posted up, from my first grade class. After staring at the really happy bat with streamer paper for a belly, I looked right at the two skeletons that were walking towards me. At this moment, I realized that I wasn't afraid of skeletons.

Zombies are scary
Clowns are scary
Tapeworms are scary
The "Oh Shit!" phone calls are doubly scary

Skeletons are not scary
Skeletons are happy weak things that shouldn't be able to move, on their own, due to the lack of tendons and ligaments

If we must resort to using some type of human remain as a symbol of evil and fear... just smear shit on the wall.
