Need idea for a quick, easy, cheap, and not totally tasteless Halloween Costume

[Snapdragon]

I work in a doctor's office that is affiliated with a chain of Catholic hospitals. We are dressing up on Monday. I was going to throw on a cowboy hat and boots, suede vest, plaid shirt and jeans, but would like to hear if anyone has any more interesting ideas.

Our door decorating contest ground to a halt today when admin made everyone take them off the doors

you should go as an ED cot. White sheet, glue on a Coke can, filthy underwear, candy wrappers, empty cigarette pack, burned spoon, empty pill bottles, and a 64oz gas station cup

Dress as a nun.

 

[Vigilant]

What is your definition of "totally tasteless"?

 

[HoughMade]

Dress as a nun.

Pregnant nun.

 

[Hoosierdood]

Pregnant nun.

Hula hoop with a shower curtain on it.. bath cap and a scrub brush.. if there is alcohol at the party it might be a communal shower though.. you've been warned.

You've watched the Karate Kid way too many times

actually no, I did that costume many years ago , then I changed it up a little, spray painted Viagra on the shower curtain and was a hit at the party.

Lorena? Is that you honey? What are you doing with that cleaver?

A sign around your neck that says "IRS AUDIT".

Nothing scarier than that. Almost.

Though I considered dressign in drag in a pantsuit and short blonde wig and hand out the candy to the kids behind a podium with the presidential seal on it.

Sweep the leg.

Orange hunter's knit cap, worn over cheap orange halloween hair wig and pulled to a point. A little orange face paint and the crayola stripe and name sharpied to scale on a big enough piece of orange oaktag to wrap around you when you're done and ... voilà ... you're an orange crayon

Honestly, that sounds good. I have never been big on workplace costumes and like the low key of your choice. Of course, several years ago I worked in a building where a woman would dress as a Klingon on Halloween. I mean full bore, looked like she stepped off the Star Trek set Klingon. That was cool.

Just go as yourself snap and if anybody asks you can use Wednesday's line from The Addam's Family.....

"You were supposed to wear a costume..."

"I am..."

"No you're not, your just dressed like you always are..."

"I'm a serial killer...They look and dress like everyone else..."

Put on a black hat, black shades, and a black trenchcoat with black boots. And go as an LT6 member.

Get a clear umbrella, tape on some purple blue and white paper streamers. Viola. You're a jellyfish.

The best part, once the costume contest is over you can fold up the umbrella and you don't have to look like a moron all day.

Not totally tasteless...I suppose absolutely nothing carrying a brass pole won't work.
