   1. You know all those clothes that you put in the dryer and they never came   
   out?  They have become ghost clothes.  Apparently ghosts use a lot of socks.   
      
   2. The Headless Horseman got his horse from a stable genius.   
      
   3. Of course ghosts are haunted by the living.  Ronald Reagan is rolling in   
   is grave now at the very thought of what his party is doing in his name.
