The Halloween Costume
There was a sensitive man with a bald head and a wooden leg
who got invited to a Halloween party. He didn't know what
costume to wear to hide his head and his leg so he wrote to
a fancy costume company to explain the problem.
A few days later, he received 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 thought this was terrible because they had just
emphasized his wooden leg. He wrote a really rude letter
of complaint. A week passedand he received another parcel
and a note which said: "Dear Sir, sorry about before,
please find enclosed a monk's habit. The long robe will
cover your wooden leg, and with your bald head, you will
really look the part."
Now the man was really annoyed, since they had gone from
emphasizing his wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head,
and he wrote the company a REALLY rude letter of
complaint.
A couple of days later he received a small parcel and a
note which read: "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!"
