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 sleeve
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 second and said, "Sure."
The salesman stepped back, eyed Joe's waist and said,
"Let's see...size 36."
Joe laughed "Ah ha! I got you! I've worn size 34 since
I was 18 years old."
The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size
34. A 34 underwear would press your testicles up against
the base of your spine and give you one hell of a
headache."
