No joke. I did that costume a few times. Lived in different places so was able to reuse. I never found a good pre-made costume so i just bought clothes from a thrift shop. I never found a yellow hat that looked even remotely like the real one. In the end, i spray painted a hat that was of similar shape. After a few bottles of wine, i couldn't tell anymore nor i could i tell if anyone else could tell ;D

I did that last year (my baby dressed as a monkey). I was considering buying this costume But I ended up just getting a yellow tshirt and for pants, bec. I had a hard time finding bright yellow pants, I bought scrubs- they come in all colors!! My hat didn't look anything like the real thing, but as David said, when you're drunk it doesn't really matter.

Mishloach Manos was inside a yellow hat with Banana laffy taffy, banana muffins, banana baby food, banana shaped candies, and mini bananas with the message:  Go Bananas!

This year my son will be a shark and I will be giving out a small fishbowl with tuna, fish shaped cookies and chocolate (both homemade), jelly fish, and I was considering including a little bagged goldfish!

I would dress up as a fisherman if I could find a decent looking costume.  Any Ideas?  Could be basic clothing (old navy?) that when worn together fits for a fisherman impression.

google any basic website that can resize pics like this. When you are typing a reply on the forums, under the text box there is an option to add attachments.  Upload your resized pic there (max of 128KB)

Lol, no. I saw that last year when I was looking around online. Btw there is a group on Facebook that ppl share their ideas for costumes and mishloach manos called : "purim themes and ideas for shalach manos!"  You could check that out. There are tons of pictures too.
