Well, Jess Hilarious, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, October 31st

Halloween goes to all you towns who have been trick-or-treating for teenagers. Yes, this is true. Some towns ban older kids from trick-or-treating on Halloween. Yes, I was reading an article on NPR, and it was about how in some U.S. towns, it's illegal for teenagers and, of course, adults to indulge in Halloween. One city, what's it called, Chesapeake? Chesapeake, Virginia. Chesapeake, Virginia. Chesapeake, Virginia actually

threatened jail time for teens until recently there was a 1970s law in the books threatening any teen caught trick-or-treating with up to six months in jail and they still to this day have a statute that says kids over 14 who trick-or-treat are guilty of a misdemeanor. Other towns I've never heard of like Jacksonville, Illinois, Rain, Louisiana both ban kids who are 13 or older from trick-or-treating okay belleville illinois has a halloween solicitation which forbids anyone above eighth grade from going trick-or-treating if you're over 12 you have to get permission from the mayor of the chief of police if they want to wear a mask a disguise

come on man many city ordinances also impose time limits. I don't agree with any of this. Okay, Halloween is not just for kids. Well, let's go to KHOU11 for the report, please. It's a new law. It's law in a part of Virginia that puts to rest the question of how old is too old to go trick-or-treating. There's now an official age to stop trick-or-treating. In part of Virginia, the last year to trick-or-treat is 12. I disagree.

Uh-uh. You're risking jail time. That's according to HRC.com. It says anyone 13 and older can be sent to jail for up to six months. Come on, man. In cities like Newport, going door-to-door after 12 is a criminal offense. We're talking class 4 misdemeanor. Stop.

Plus, parents aren't allowed to wear masks either, just in case they get tempted to go out and trick-or-treat with their kids. So no matter the age, trick-or-treating after 8 p.m. can land you behind bars for up to 30 days. Is Halloween just a holiday for kids? Why are these towns trying to steal the joy that teenagers and adults also feel around Halloween? There is something about dressing up. There is something about being your favorite superhero, your favorite cartoon character, your favorite wrestler.

Myself, I am supposed to be Ric Flair today. It's giving junkie. It's giving junkie. This is a prime example of what you ordered versus what you got. Everything is shedding. Shedding is normal. It should be expected.

However, excessive shedding is an indication that the wig is poorly constructed. Is this wig poorly constructed? Yes. Absolutely. Giselle? She's supposed to be blonde. Party City.

Okay. This wig is clearly poorly constructed. Everyone keeps asking me if I'm a founding father. No, I'm the nature boy, Ric Flair. Woo! Best part of this costume is this WCW replica championship belt. All right. It didn't come with this costume.

I ordered this from somewhere else. Okay. And if it is giving junkie, I need to replica championship belt. All right? It didn't come with this costume. I ordered this from somewhere else, okay? And if it is giving junkie, I need to pawn this belt. But all I'm trying to say is Halloween is fun for all ages. Don't steal the joy away from these teenagers. They are still teenagers. Why restrict them from having a good time? What are they supposed to do on Halloween? Be chaperones?

Lookouts? You want them at the door giving out candy? Being sad because they wish they was out there tricking and treating? This is wrong. Look at how happy we are in here today. Look at Red. Look at him. He's a Puerto Rican Spider-Man.

Stand up, Red. Come on, man. Look at him. That's the Puerto Rican Spider-Man right there. All right? Then we have Brandon. Where's Brandon? Come here, Brandon.

Come here, Brandon. Brandon's supposed to be 50-sit. More like a quarter. Okay? Don't let the SWAT outfit fool you. It says SWAT on the front. Okay? Don't get scared. Sim, where's Sim at? Sim, come here, Sim. Sim's supposed to be

Now, who y'all think Sim's supposed to be? That's Nicki Minaj. Absolutely Nicki. She's supposed to be Nicki Minaj. I'm broke Nicki. Yeah, she giving junkie energy too. Okay? Damn. Sid is a banana. She got the tattoos, too? You got the tattoos on her? Oh, see, that's good.

That's good attention to detail. Thank you. That's good attention to detail. Sid is a banana. Sid, stand up, Sid. Show them. Do the thing you came in here screaming. I don't have my Morocco's, but it's paid up for all this stuff.

Hey, hey. Oh, man. Oh, man. And where's the president of the Fat Lives Matter community? Look at this guy. He's Matter community? Look at this guy. He's wobbling it. Look at this guy. Wobble, baby.
