Morning, all. Hope everyone had more treats than tricks last night.

Scott,
I went out and served court papers on people. "Trick or Treat"! Hah!

Como se dice "Trick or Treat" en español?

PB should know that.

hmmm, I should know, but I don't.
Literally translated it would be "Broma o regalo" or "Broma o dulce" but I don't honestly know what the Latino kids say when they go out and do it. Halloween is a mostly American holiday and is not really celebrated the same way in the Hispanic countries. And a phrase like "trick or treat" is more cultural than a basic grammatic construct.
If you give me a minute, I'll think of even more excuses for my ignorance.
