what did Junior do to his neighbor anyways? I missed that part.
Expecting a large Halloween turnout, Junior stockpiled a large amount of candy and put it in a rather large bowl as he told it. Well at around 6 PM, in the early dusk part of the evening, the doorbell rang. Junior, with bowl of candy at the ready, sprang to action and opened the door to a chorus of "trick or treats". He quickly scanned the crowd of assorted costumed kids and recognized them as neighbors. I say kids plural because as the story was told there were not 1, not 2, but SEVEN kids standing on the porch all at once waiting for a candied treat. Junior, aware of the early evening time, did the math and feared that he did not have enough candy. Panicked that his rations would be pilfered before the real rush of revelers arrived, Junior meticulously reached into his bowl and gave each child just one single bite sized Butterfinger bar. He sent the kids on their way and turned to his wife who stood on the porch behind him. He asked her if he was being stingy. I should point out that Gordo and George chimed in adding to the hilarity of the situation and really hamming it up with faux surprise and laughter. Junior really became chagrined at this point and told how his wife hounded him for his lack of generosity. He countered with "why didn't you say anything then?" to which she retorted "I was too stunned". After that, Gordo and George really dogpiled him, I don't have to tell you. The story concluded with Junior telling how only 1 more trick or treater visited his home for the rest of the evening and he was left with a ton of candy and a guilty conscience. This left the famed morning trio debating how the situation could have/should have been dealt with and a what Craig should do segment.
