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.
