Without a doubt this is one of the better Jokers I've run across in a deck of cards. I'd really like to see this as a tattoo on someone. Just not myself.

I thought it would be fun to take my kids to Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn on Halloween. I imagined it would be the beginning of a new Halloween tradition. Something they might remember and talk about when they had kids of their own. They thought differently and refused to go. I went alone. Happy Halloween.
