How scary are your jack-o'-lanterns? Scarier than you think, according to the Energy Department, which claims the holiday squash is responsible for unleashing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Most of the 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins produced in the U.S. end up in the trash, says the Energy Department's website, becoming part of the "more than 254 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) produced in the United States every year."

they came for the pumpkins and no one said anything
they came the cucumbers next
leaving us all in a pickle
we should have squashed long ago.

Must be why it’s snowing here.
Perhaps ten liberals could hold their breath until stroking out for each pumpkin.
I thought bacon was the problem!

Why is a vegetable something to hide?
Just more of the lefts war on enjoyment.
They fart.
Pumpkin farts are terrible.

Greenhouse gases and probably more Sulfer than a VW TDI
I recommend if you have a pumpkin that you immediately smash it
and beat up all the children who believe in the Great Pumpkin.
pumpkins are not fit to eat anyway ,horrible stuff
That’ll scare away the trick-or-treaters...
My granddaughter painted a pumpkin a couple weeks ago. It began to prematurely rot. I placed it outside out back on the concrete patio, intending to bury it later. Racoons got to it and left a small section with seeds. That went into the soil to grow for next year. It’s organic, why toss it in the garbage can when you can compost it?
Jack-o-lanterns - oh, no, we’re all doooooomed!!!!
