Fancy Dress
A man with a bald head and a wooden leg is invited to a
fancy dress party.
He doesn't know what to wear to hide his 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 thinks this is terrible because they emphasized his
disability, so he writes a letter of complaint. A week passes and he
received another parcel.
Dear Sir, Sorry about the previous parcel. Please find 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 extremely furious now, because the company has
gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to drawing attention to
his bald head.
So he writes a really rude letter of complaint. A few days later
he gets a very small parcel from the company with an accompanying letter:
Dear Sir, Please find enclosed a tin of Golden Syrup.
Pour the tin of Golden Syrup over your bald head, stick your wooden leg up
your bottom and go as a toffee apple !!!!!

Reminds me of this whimsy:,
A man was invited to a fancy dress party, and decided to go as Adam...
...So he phoned a costume hire shop and asked to rent a fig leaf. A few days later, the said fig leaf arrived, and he tried it on, but as he was fairly well endowed, it didn't quite cover things up, so he sent it back with a note explaining the situation. A day or so later another, larger, fig leaf arrived, but again, it didn't keep things out of sight, so he sent it back. The next day another, even larger fig leaf arrived, again, no joy. Or too much. Your call. So he sent it back. The next day he got an envelope with a brief note from the costumiers:-
"That was the largest we have in stock. We suggest paint the object black, stick it in your ear, and say you're a petrol pump"
