My company would never have been what it became without my faithful army of MBAs to save our engineers from themselves.

You have been given a second chance from the great beyond.

Hide the bodies well, methinks! Cut and piece and cover the stinks!

Move the monies so no one will see, then laugh at the bumblings of the S.E.C.

(cue scream.....)

insider trading would never be, we all have the spirit of HP!

What happened on Halloween?
Got inspired.... came up with some pretty good
"haunted corporation" stuff.... but nobody got into it this year .

Over here in my town we went to a $10 a ticket
haunted house. Kinda fun. Big long line
Nobody there over about age 25 (except for me).

I am near a high school and I heard the cops dropped by and gave the kids a "talking to". Some of them went home and told their moms they weren't even going to step out the door (for fear of arrest! I love it!) So only some little kids trick-or-treated... all the others were probably home plotting parabolae on their TIs... or IM-ing on their HP PCs.

Hmmmmmmm........

you say the cops showed up, and threatened to bust all the teenagers, then they didn't trick or treat.

This means that you got very few of a certain type of trick or treater: the 6 foot tall teenagers with half-hearted costumes, carrying black garbage bags 3/4 filled with their candy.

Instead you got meticulously dressed 3' tall kindergartners, with a little tiny plastic pumpkin that holds about 10 pieces of candy at most .

This was a good situation, you got more leftover candy that you get to eat for yourself.
