There's this man with a bald head and a wooden leg who gets invited to a
fancy costume party. He doesn't know what costume to wear to hide his head
and his leg so he writes to a costume company to explain the problem.
A few days later he receives a parcel with a note.
"Dear Sir, please find enclosed a pirate's outfit. The spotted handkerchief
will cover your bald head and with your wooden leg you will be just right as
a pirate."
The man thinks this is terrible because they have just emphasized the wooden
leg and so he writes a really rude letter of complaint. A week passes and
he receives another parcel and a note which says:
"Dear Sir, sorry about before, please find enclosed a monks habit. The long
robe will cover your wooden leg and with your bald head you will really look
the part."
Now the man is really annoyed since they have gone from emphasizing his
wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head and he writes the company a REALLY
nasty letter of complaint.
A few days later he receives a small parcel and a note which reads:
"Dear Sir, please find enclosed a jar of caramel. Pour the jar of caramel
over your bald head, stick your wooden leg up your ass and go as a candied
apple!
