An Inappropriate use for a tin of Golden Syrup

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 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, let it harden, then stick your wooden leg up your arse

and go as a toffee apple.
