Trick-or-Treat Bias
I’m on candy-bowl duty here at the house while Lacey takes the girls around trick-or-treating. I’ve observed that I’m biased with the candy. I want to give out more candy to kids who I think are cute. And I had a really hard time not giving more candy to the four attractive teenage girls (approximately 16–17 years old) in matching babydoll outfits with short skirts. Biology influenced psychology in action!

LoL. If you’d had the surgery I had earlier this year (for testicular cancer), you’d have given out half as much candy. :-O

Sorry to hear about that, Cliff. I hope everything is going well for you. On the bright side, at least you save on your Halloween candy and cute-waitress tip budgets.
