*raises hand* Did it for work a few years back when I was a legal secretary....the mailman refused to believe it was something I'd actually wear in public...
I've done it in the past. Tends to put pirate costumes to shame. Esp. when you brandish a sabre at them.
I am making my sweetie her costume again this year. The glue is drying as I write this.
I found the correct color T-shirt, glued on an oval piece of black felt with the number 2 cut from the center, bought her a lil red scull cap and a grey-silver neck warmer.
She going to her office party tomorrow as a No. 2 pencil. =)
Quick, cheap, easy, comfy.

Reason: clarity
Not me. I'm an escaped prisoner. It's actually appropriate here in Western New York.
I've never done the fencer Halloween costume, but I imagine my knickers would help me make a great Oompa Loompa costume.

I was thinking of borrowing a sabre jacket and mask and going as a baked potato, but I decided on the super-lazy meta costume. A "Hello my name is" name tag with God written on it.
Costume is actually Oz from Buffy the Vampire Slayer / a werewolf.

I'm at work now, and just grabbed my Vampire Fangs as I walked out the door.
Quick and easy, took me all of 5 seconds to put on my costume.
Later today I'm doing a Trunk or Treat thing, and our theme is a castle, so I'm putting on the stuff I have to wear to renaissance fairs.
Cavalier Hat with a plume, shirt, pants (I don't wear tights), boots, rapier & dagger.
Then tonight, I'm having "The Talk" with my girlfriends parents, so I'm dressing up as a nice respectable young man.
A friend of mine did the fencing accident once using some old gear. He wore his old whites, took an old mask that failed tests, and a broken foil.
He managed to make a hole in the front of the mask big enough to slip the foil through it and then attached it to the top of the mask using i think a bolt, nut and washers.
He walked around all evening with a foil sticking out of the front of his head.
I stopped dressing up for halloween several years ago - it just brings me no joy :/
Honestly, I hate costume parties/theme parties etc. so boring *yawn*

Good Luck! And if the father pulls out a knife to demonstrate on an apple, make sure he is a fan of Crocodile Dundee before pulling out a bigger one. Trust me on this.

Actually went better than I thought it would. And I wasn't as worried about the knife, as his M1 Garand. (I'm kidding about this, though he does have the gun)
Aside from that all my costumes went well, except I had like 10 kids ask where the other 2 musketeers were, and when I responded well I'm D'Artagnan, and I'm not sure where Athos, Porthos, and Aramis are. They all looked confused...

That's it! Next year, I'm passing out literature as well as candy.

Ok, time to fess up. Who else besides me is being lazy and using their whites as a Halloween costume?
Will, you read my mind. I really wanted to get candy, but my mom bought crappy candy, so i put on my fencing whites, grabed my sabre and was a fencer :P haha.
