What do you call a man with wood on his head?

Edward.
What do you call a man with two bits of wood on his head?
I don't know.
Edward Wood.
What do you call a man with three bits of wood on his head?
I don't know.
Edward Woodward.
What do you call a man with four bits of wood on his head?

Neither do I - but Edward Woodward would.
For
this (excellent!) joke to work in the USA, it helps to know that in
England (and for the purposes of this joke) the name 'Edward' can be
pronounced as Ed-wood.
And that the actor Edward Woodward
(Callan, The Equalizer, Breaker Morant etc) was famously dubbed Ed-Wood
Wood-Wood on a Morecombe and Wise TV show - and the name stuck.
So the rapid fire answers are pronounced: Ed Wood, Ed Wood Wood, Ed Wood Wood Wood, and Ed Wood Wood Wood Wood...
