If you must venture through the forest this All Hallow’s Eve, step ye briskly and light, for a spirit haunts these woods with a vengeance like none other. Some say he was a Hessian mercenary beheaded for treason; others believe he was a daring Lothario murdered by a jealous husband. Believe what ye like, but know this: He can never leave these cursed woods until he reclaims what was taken, or a reasonable facsimile. So beware, lest ye feel the blade of… The Headless Mongoose!

“or a reasonable facsimile.”
I’m glad the spirit world is a bit flexible. I mean, sometimes you just can’t get the originals…
Oh my, I’ll need to keep a watch out for the Headless Mongoose.
Darn it, Mike! That’s twice in two hours you made me snerk out my nose. The tea was bad enough, but toothpaste?
The mint might be good for your sinuses Duckie?
