Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
I got a colonoscopy on Halloween. Most of the staff were in full costume, including the doctors. Think skintight red dresses with Superman capes, Spider-Man bodysuits, etc.
There were also nurses with Halloween-themed scrubs, pumpkin earrings, and devil-horn or cat-ear headbands. Those options seem more appropriate.GENTLE READER:Miss Manners is referring to the possible outcome of a colonoscopy, which she would think scary enough. Perhaps the hijinks were intended to distract patients from worry.
Any other shoppers who followed would not have received the same amount of fruit for the price , and they would risk whatever germs that woman was carrying.
