Any ideas?

a few years ago i dressed up like a decoration scarecrow and sat outside with a "take 2 pieces please" bowl. I had newspapers sticking out my pant legs, shirt sleeves and around the neck and i wore a pumpkin mask that obscured my eyeballs.
the kids were all really honest or suspected i was in there because only 3 took more than 2 pieces and they only took a small handful - no one ran off with the bowl
i did have a lot of fun scaring the bejeezez out of the scoundrel sugar fiends
i wished for more

word of warning
it's all fun and games until you get smacked with a wiffle ball bat - those will leave a wicked welt
