A man who is completely bald and has a wooden leg is invited to a costume party. He wants a costume that doesn’t draw attention to either issue, so he writes to a fancy costume shop explaining his problem. A few days later, a package arrives with a note: “Dear Sir, Enclosed is a pirate costume. The bandana will cover your bald head, and with your wooden leg, you’ll look just like a real pirate.” The man is offended — the costume highlights his wooden leg. So he writes a complaint. A week later, another package arrives: “Dear Sir, Sorry about the pirate suggestion. Enclosed is a monk’s robe. It will cover your wooden leg completely, and with your bald head, you’ll look perfect.” Now he’s even more upset — first they focused on the leg, now the head. He writes a much stronger letter of complaint. A few days later, he receives a very small box with one final note: Dear Sir, Thank you for your feedback. Enclosed is a bottle of red syrup. Pour it over your bald head, let it harden, and then stick your wooden leg up your butt and go as a candy apple.
