A mail order company with a sense of humour - at last!

A man with a baldhead and a wooden leg is invited to a Halloween fancy dress party. He doesn't know what to wear to hide his head and his wooden leg, so he emails to a Costume 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 baldhead 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 emails a 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 baldhead you will really look the part.
The man is now really incandescent with rage, because the company has gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to drawing attention to his baldhead. So he writes a really strong email 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 (Treacle) over your baldhead, stick your wooden leg up your arse and go as a Toffee Apple.
We thank you for your business.
P.S have a great Halloween.
