We all know the traditional Halloween trick-or-treat paradigm: get dressed up in your costume, grab your pillowcase or bucket, and head out down the sidewalk to knock on the doors of your neighbors who eagerly await to engage in the time old tradition of tongue-in-cheek reciprocity. Of course if you grew up in the hinterland of a small town, you start with your neighbor half a mile down the road, then go into town. You go door to door with at least one of your parents and ring the door bell. "Trick or treat!" Typically there will be a brief discussion over what your costume is and then you get some candy and say "thank you".
