>
>The man thinks this is terrible because they have just emphasized his

>
>A week passes and he received 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 furious now, because the company has gone from
