Why don't mummies take time off?

They are afraid to unwind.

There's your Halloween joke for the day, hopefully you won't hear anymore during trick or treating tonight.

Now forget Halloween, because Christmas is coming to Tailem Bend and it's bogan themed.

Also a big happy birthday to 5MU, who are going to celebrate their 90th anniversary in style at the Murray Bridge Golf Club on Saturday.

This weekly feature is brought to you by the Bridgeport Hotel  – the place to be.
