I wonder if that doorbell makes the same sound as the doors in Star Trek TNG. (I used to use that sound to announce the arrival of a new email in my inbox. Until my wife had heard it one too many times, that is.)
As some of you know, my husband and I are guides at a historic cemetery.We get lots of questions, especially at this time of year. One of the perennials is “What’s the scariest story you know”?The answer is the story of a former Confderate spy who fled to Canada after the American Civil War. Without any known training or education in either field, heopened a combination pharmacy and dental paractice, which he operated for thirteen years. He apparently never lost a patient.After an amnesty was offered to former Confederate officers, the wannabe dentist came back to the US and enrolled in a proper dental school.Now officially certified, he moved to New York and became dentist to the rich and famous—including former general and President Ulysses S. Grant!

…actually, it would be in the dentist’s best interests to give out the good stuff and plenty of it…
…even cotton candy…

As a child my dentist gave out coupons for a free ice cream cone—helping ensure I’d visit again…

Hmm. “Haunted Quarters” just doesn’t have the same ring to it as Haunted House.
