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. Joe 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 you knew?"
"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?"
"Like I said, I’ve 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, "A-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 headache."
New suit - $400
New shirt - $36
