Halloween
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 habit. 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 the enclosed bottle of molasses. Pour the molasses
over your bald head, stick your wooden leg up your ass and go as a
caramel apple.



Very truly yours, Acme Costume Co
