He rides through the night. He is a spirit or an evil presence. He has no head but he carries a sharp sword. Beware of the Headless Horseman. Here are ten things that you should not say to this spectacle of the night:

1. How would you like to get ahead in life?
2. I love the way you look. You’re so tall, dark and headless.
3. Would you please keep your horse off my lawn?
4. Nice sword. Did you pick it up at a flea market?
5. I’m sorry but I don’t give candy out to strangers unless they ask
6. Do you ever suffer from a headache?
7. I bet you have trouble putting on a necktie
8. At least you never have to worry about shaving
9. How would you like to come over my house and slice the turkey?
10. Your horse sure could use a breath mint. I’d give one to you, but I think it would be a waste of time.
11. This new math is so difficult. It clearly is over my head. Is it over your head too?
12. Have you ever considered modeling for Esquire? You seem to be so photogenic
