Curing a Headache

"Curing a Headache"

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!" 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 hell of a headache."
