The doctor said,
'Joe,
the good news is I can cure
your headaches. The bad news
is that it will require
castration. You have a very
rare condition, which
causes your testicles to
press on your spine and the
pressure creates one hell of
a headache. The only way to
relieve the pressure is to
remove the testicles.'
Joe was shocked and
depressed. He wondered if he
had anything to live for. He
had no choice but to go
under the knife.
When he left the
hospital, he was without a
headache for the first time
in 20 years, but he felt
like he was missing an
important part of himself.
As he walked down the
street, he realized that he
felt like a different
person. He could make a new
beginning and live a new
life.
He saw a men's clothing
store and thought,
'That's what I need... a new
suit.' He entered the
shop and told the salesman,
'I'd
like a new suit.'
The elderly tailor eyed
him briefly and said ,
'Let's
see. size 44 long.'
Joe laughed,
'That's right, how did you
know?'
'Been in the business 60
years!' the tailor
said.
Joe tried on the suit, it
fit perfectly.
As Joe admired himself
in the mirror, the salesman
asked,
'How about a new shirt?'
Joe thought for a
moment and then said,
'Sure.'
The salesman eyed Joe
and said,
'Let's see, 34 sleeves and
16-1/2 neck.'
Joe was surprised,
'That's right, how did you
know?
'Been in the business 60
years.'
Joe tried on the shirt,
and it fit perfectly.
Joe walked comfortably
around the shop, and the
salesman asked,
'How
about some new underwear?'
Joe thought for a moment
and said,
'Sure.'
The salesman said,
'Let's see... size 36.'
Joe laughed,
'Ah
ha! I got you , I've worn a
size 34 since I was 18 years
old.'
The salesman shook his
head,
'You can't wear a size 34.
A size 34 would press your
testicles up against the
base of your spine and give
you one hell of a headache.'
New suit - $400
New shirt - $36
New underwear - $6
