A man with a bald head and a wooden leg is invited to a Xmas fancy dress party.



He doesn't know what to wear to hide his bald head and his wooden leg, so he writes to a fancy dress company to explain his 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 is offended that the outfit emphasizes his disability, so he writes a letter of complaint. A week passes and he receives another parcel and note:

Dear Sir,



Sorry about the previous parcel. 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.



The man is really incandescent with rage now, because the company has gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to drawing attention to his bald head. So he writes a really strong letter of complaint. A few days later he gets a very small parcel from the company with the accompanying letter:



Dear Sir,



Please find enclosed a tin of Golden Syrup.



We suggest you pour the tin of Golden Syrup over your bald head, stick your wooden leg up your arse and go as a toffee apple.

Best joke I read in Northern Cyprus today. And it's only copied/pasted/uploaded 200.000 times on the Internet before. Well done.

Stick your head back where it should be Dutchcap

The quality of the English language in your copied jokes is usually a lot better than when you try to write something yourself.
