FW: Halloween Costume (fwd)

[Chuck Murcko <ch...@topsail.org>]

Some humor from a friend, which struck me as strangely appropriate.

Standard humor disclaimer applies. YMMV. Apologies in advance if you are 
offended, bald, or have a wooden leg.

>>>   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 just 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.
