This has nothing to do with the story. I just thought it was adorable.
Who knows this childhood "spooky" story? I'm curious to know the various versions. Here's the one I know:
It was a dark and stormy night, and a man came into the hotel lobby, soaking wet, and said,
"Gimme a room."
"I'm sorry," said the desk clerk. "We only have one room left. And it's haunted."
"I don't care," said the man. "I don't believe in ghosts."
"All right," said the desk clerk. "I warned you." And he gave the man the key.
The man went up to his room, lay on the bed, read his newspaper, and he heard a voice.
"Got you where I WANT you. Now I'm going to EAT you."
The man went "EEEEEK," jumped out the window, had a heart attack, and died.
About an hour later, a wrestler came in to the hotel office. "GIMME A ROOM, PENCIL NECK!"
The clerk said, "I'm sorry. We only have one room left, and-- it's haunted."
"I AIN'T AFRAID OF NO PENCIL NECK GHOST! GIMME THE KEY OR I'LL SLAM YOU!"
The clerk said, "All right. I warned you."
The wrestler went up to the room, started flexing his muscles in the mirror. After a minute, here came the voice:
"Got you where I WANT you. Now I'm going to EAT you."
The wrestler went "EEEEEEEK!" jumped out the window, had a heart attack and died.
After about an hour, a kid came into the office. "I need a room," he said.
"I'm sorry," said the clerk. "There's only one room left, and it's haunted."
"I don't care," said the kid. "I need a room."
"All right, " said the hotel clerk. "I warned you." And he gave him the key.
Kid went upstairs, lay on the bed, watched a little TV, and he heard the voice
"Got you where I WANT you. Now I'm going to EAT you."
Kid turned off the TV.
"Got you where I WANT you, now I'm going to EAT you!"
Kid got up off the bed, started looking around.
"Got you where I WANT you, now I'm going to EAT you!"
Voice was coming from the closet.
"Got you where I WANT you, now I'm going to EAT you!"
The kid walked over to the closet, put his hand on the doorknob.
"Got you where I WANT you, now I'm going to EAT you!"
The kid slooooooowly opened the closet door--
"Got you where I WANT you, now I'm going to EAT you!"
and
inside
there
was
a..................
........
little leprechaun with his finger up his nose,
and he pulled out a big booger and said
"Gotcha where I want you, and now I'm gonna eat you"
Where do these crazy stories come from? Do you know a different ending, or is this the first time you've heard it and you're thinking i'm completely crazy.

Oh how I love that scary story. I always felt a little creeped out when anyone told it even though I knew how it would end. Thanks for that walk down memory lane. Can you quote Porkys too? haha
Is that a candy bowl or what? I like it, you should make one and give it to me.
I told that joke verbatim at every sleepover from about 1980-1986. Except for one slight difference - in the closet was a little black boy with a booger on his finger. What's with the black boy? Is that racist?
I have never heard that story before! LOL And yes I'm thinking you're crazy but that's nothing new! I think I will tell it to the kids later. They'll get a kick out of it!
I was just thinking the same thing as Nat... no leprachaun, just a little black boy eating his boogers. Did you ever hear the one where one man was shaving out the 3rd floor window, another man was peeing out the 2nd floor window, and a lady was eating pickles out of the 1st floor window. Let's just say that the man on the 3rd floor dropped his razor... let's see if you can finish the story.
It was always a parrot with a booger at the end when I heard it or told it. Funny. It think my favorite part is where they all jump out the window, have a heart attack and die. lol.
