Halloween Costume

"Halloween Costume"*

*There's a man with a bald head and a wooden
leg who gets invited to a Halloween party. He
doesn't know what costume to wear to hide
his head and his leg so he writes to a fancy
dress 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 his wooden leg, and so
he writes a letter of complaint. A week passes,
and he receives another parcel and a note, which says:

"Dear Sir, 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 is really annoyed since they have
gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to
emphasizing his bald head, so he writes the
company another nasty letter of complaint. The
next day he receives a small parcel and a note which reads:

"Dear Sir, please find enclosed a bottle of
molasses. Pour the molasses over your bald
head, stick your wooden leg up your butt, and go as a Caramel apple!"
