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
>heck 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!" 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
>
>As Joe adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about new
>shoes?"
>
>Joe was on a roll and said, "Sure."
>
>The salesman eyed Joe's feet and said, "Let's see...9-1/2 E."
>
>Joe was astonished, "That's right, how did you know?"
>
>"Been in the business 60 years!" Joe tried on the shoes and they 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 heck
>of a headache."
>
>ALWAYS get a second opinion...
