  1. Another Halloween Custom

    Share Share Post
    Put a chair face downwards on the floor. Get an apple and place it on the far out part of the back. Let some person kneel on the legs and catch the apple with his mouth. As a rule the chair overbalances and the person falls out on his face and hands. This also causes a great laugh.
