A balding guy with a wooden leg and hypersensitive about his appearance, gets invited to a fancy dress party and approaches a mail order costumer for an outfit to conceal his 'infirmities'.
After a few days a parcel arrives containing a tricorn hat and plastic parrot along with a note thanking him for his custom and advising him that " the hat will hide his bald patch and all pirates have wooden legs".
Irate with their insensitive customer service, he returns the package with along with a letter complaining that the costume would only highlight his peg leg. A few days later another parcel arrives on his doorstep containing a monks habit and a letter apologising for their earlier gaffe and advising him that the monks habit will hide his wooden leg and all monks have bald patches.
Incensed with their jocular attitude towards his appearance ,he again returns the costume with a bitter letter of complaint pointing out that this idea only draws attention to his bald patch.
After a week or so a package arrives which upon opening contains a tin of golden syrup and a note instructing him to pour the syrup over his head, stick his wooden leg up his ****, and go to the party as a toffee-apple.

I see your jokes (quantity and quality) haven't improved over the last 20 years mateA burglar breaks into someone’s home, and is stealthily creeping round in the darkness. Suddenly an eerie, inhuman voice comes out of the darkness: “Jesus is watching you !“.
He is considerably spooked and decides to risk turning on his torch. There picked out in the circle of light is a parrot.
He is quite relieved and says “pretty Polly” in an attempt to pacify the bird, “the name is Clarence”, comes the reply. “Clarence ?!” says the burglar “what sort of idiot calls his parrot ‘Clarence’ ?”. “Same kind of idiot that calls his Rottweiler ‘Jesus’.” …
Indeed, however I hope I can be excused for bringing some light relief because this place is grim sometimes.I see your jokes (quantity and quality) haven't improved over the last 20 years mate
