The Joke Shop

Bald Bill is invited to a costume party. He rushes to the costume shop. He tells the shop owner that he wants a costume that will hide both his bald head (hair loss treatments never worked on him) and his wooden leg. The store owner goes to the back of the store, and returns with a pirate costume. “This will cover your head with a bandanna, and your wooden leg will look just like part of your costume.”

“That’s not going to work,”said Bald Bill. “I asked for a costume that covers both my baldness and my wooden leg.”

The store owner apologizes, and returns to the back of the store. He returns a few minutes later, carrying a monk’s habit. “This long robe will cover your wooden leg, and your bald head will seem to be just part of the costume.”

Bald Bill is irate. “I said I wanted a costume that would cover both my baldness, and my wooden leg!”

The store owner apologizes again to Bald Bill, and returns to the back of the store. He returns with a jar of molasses, which he hands to Bald Bill.

“What am I supposed to do with this?” Bald Bill asks.

The store owner replies,”Pour this molasses on your head, and stick your wooden leg up your butt. Then you’ll look like a caramel apple.
