Scary

I always just wanted to be funny. I never planned to be scary.

How do we decide what is scary? Like vegetables and legumes and that stuff? A pumpkin carved into a face is scary. But what if we did the same thing to a cucumber --

A Jack - o - Cuke? Is that scary? Or maybe a Cuke - o - Lantern? Is that better?

(pause)

No.

Cuke-o-lantern?  Is that better?  No.

Anyway, if you don't get my point, it's because I'm really a deep thinker.
