There’s one rule and one rule only for family events held down the park: Don’t frighten the kiddiewinks.

And Lee here WENT TOO FAR when he decided that the Grimsby Wonderful World festival was just the right time and place to dress up as a plague doctor, complete with severed head.

Grimsby Telegraph: Man is barred entry to family fun day because of his ‘too scary’ fancy dress outfit. Twice.

To be fair to Lee, his nose is actually that shape under the mask.

“It may have looked a bit strange, but I am still human.”

Unfortunately, Lee blew his chances of sympathy from that most important part of British society (people who comment under local newspaper stories) by trying to get in for a second time in the costume and getting into a bit of a barney with security.

Anyway, it’s worth pointing out that the event was part of the Dong Energy 10K Fun Run.

Heh. He said “Dong”.

And there’s a running theme with offensive fancy dress:

Because straight jackets always come in small, medium, large and bosoms.
