A bald man with a wooden leg 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 costume company to explain
his problem.
A few days later he received a parcel with the following 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...
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.
The man thinks this is terrible because they have emphasized his wooden leg and so he writes
a letter of complaint.
A week goes by and he receives another parcel and a note, which says
Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a monk’s costume. The long robe will cover
your wooden leg and, with your bald head, you will really look the part.
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.
Now the man is really upset since they have gone from emphasizing his
wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head so again he writes the company another nasty
letter of complaint.
The next day he gets a small parcel and a note, which reads:
Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a bottle of molasses and a bag of crushed
nuts. Pour the molasses over your bald head, sprinkle on crushed nuts,
stick your wooden leg up your butt and go as a caramel apple.
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.
