The Nilbirhs probably hand out boxes of raisins…

The Nilburgs are dentist, if they don’t find any cavities they give the kid extra candy.

Their examination caries a lot of weight.

DENTISTS! ;P

Remove the word “For” and that gag takes on a very different meaning.

That would be Dr. Nilburg, DDS, no doubt.

As Mrs. Nilburg craftily reaches into the little girl’s bag to steal candy to hand out to the next group…

The Nilburgs are on my do not trick-or-treat at list.

Checking for loose fillings before handing out the taffy.

Killjoy! I bet they hand-out tooth brushes and dental floss.

There shall be EGGS!!

She’s standing there like a perfect angel.

The checking for cavities never bothered me very much. The drilling that sometimes came next was a different story, though.

10 out of 9 dentists prefer Halloween to improve their dental business!

Only in America, where suing someone has become the thing to do.

This is great, John. HA!!!!

Shouldn’t the tooth fairy be doing that?

Are they dentists?

This is going to be a big hit with dentists, John.

I can already see this one hanging up at my dentist’s office!

That place goes on the blacklist.

My son got a toothbrush from the Nilburgs one year.

Looks like Bleeb is going to skip this house, I am not sure he even has any teeth. Since he doesn’t have a costume either, maybe he’s skipping Halloween.

Dr. Nilburg’s a dentist, notice his business cards ready to hand out…

“That one kid’s little yellow alien costume was really good!”

Wait till the kids get home and tell their parents about the house doing cavity searches!

I figure they sell dental insurance and don’t want to pay any claims, a dentist would say dig in and then dig into your wallet
