Halloween Joke - Do Not Read if Easily Offended

Naughty MissKait here...

A bald man with a wooden leg is invited to a Halloween party. He doesn't know what costume to wear to hide his head and his leg so he writes to a costume company to explain his problem.

A few days later, he received a parcel with the following 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. Very truly yours, Acme Costume Co.

The man thinks this is terrible because they have emphasized his wooden leg and so he writes a letter of complaint.

A week goes by and he receives another parcel and a note, which says:

Dear Sir, 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. Very truly yours, Acme Costume Co.

Now the man is really upset since they have gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head so again he writes the company another nasty letter of complaint.

The next day he gets a small parcel and a note, which reads:

Dear Sir, Please find enclosed a bottle of molasses and a bag of crushed nuts. Pour the molasses over your bald head, pat on crushed nuts, stick your wooden leg up your a$$ and go as a caramel apple. Very truly yours, Acme Costume Co.

This is my last post for now. I am off to charge my camera's batteries as I have a Halloween parade to go to in an hour. Kaylie and Liam are on a school parade. I hope I get some decent shots!

This is HOOTS AND HALLOWS found at CottageArts.net. It has the cutest word stickers, elements and papers. I love, love, love the owl! Did I tell you I love the owl? The doodled frames and papers are also suitable for non-Halloween pages.

Oh, Friends, I can't help it...it seems that as of late I can't get ORANGE out of my mind. I live, breathe and scrap orange. You must all be so freaking tired of my orange pages, but the problem is that I still have a few orange pages swirling in my head.

Picking the Perfect Pumpkin

Even though Daddy had already bough the kids their pumpkin, I took the kids to a roadside farm in Mansfield where they had quite a few varieties for sale. They each picked a small pumpkin and a jar of honey. They were so thrilled they even posed for pictures willingly. 10-16-2006.Credits: Even though Daddy had already bough the kids their pumpkin, I took the kids to a roadside farm in Mansfield where they had quite a few varieties for sale.

Pumpkin Lover

Liam can be so quirky at times. We bought these small pumpkins, which he absolutely loved. He was playing with them on the couch, while watching tv. I noticed that he hid them under his blanket. When I asked him why they were there he told me that he was cold and didn’t want the pumpkins getting cold, too. What can I say, I can’t fight his logic and besides, he loves those pumpkins! 10-17-2006.
