The Bathrobe... A true story.
Years ago my mom had a co-worker and friend named Norma. Norma was a fun-loving type of gal. Right after a Halloween night Norma came to work and told my mom about a prank her friend had pulled on her husband the night before.
Seems Norma's friend decided to play a trick on her husband on Halloween Night. She began answering the door and handing out candy as the kids arrived. After a while she told her husband she was experiencing a terrible headache and asked him to take over answering the door while she went upstairs to lay down.
With her husband answering the door, Norma's friend headed to her bedroom. Once there, she quickly took off all her clothes, slipped her robe over her naked body and pulled a stocking over her head. Then she quietly snuck out the back door. She waited till there were no children in sight, walked up to her own front door and knocked. When her husband answered, she yelled..,trick or treat..and opened up her bathrobe exposing her naked body.
Her husband was so shocked he fainted on the spot hitting his head on the floor which caused a nasty gash. After her friend aroused her husband it became very apparent that a trip to the ER was necessary to address the gash. Once there Norma's friend had to explain to the staff just what caused the cut.
Norma thought this story was hysterical and vowed to my mom she was going to do the exact same thing on the next Halloween night.
True to her word, Norma repeated the same procedure that next Halloween. She complained of a headache, had her husband Ted take over, ran upstairs to strip down, grabbed her bathrobe, wrapped it around her, pulled on the stocking and headed out the back door.
She waited till no one was around, ran up to her front door, knocked and yelled ...trick or treat..when Ted pulled the door open.
As soon as he saw her, and much to her dismay, Ted yelled...Norma, get in here, now!!!
"How did you know it was me?" Norma asked her husband. "Why I recognized your bathrobe" he replied.
Moral of the story...if you're planning to duplicate this prank, make sure you buy a new bathrobe
