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 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 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.
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.

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 received a small parcel
and a note which read:
------------
Dear Sir:
Please find enclosed a 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.
