Joe was moderately successful in his career, but as he got older he was increasingly hampered by terrible headaches. When his personal hygiene and love life started to suffer, he sought medical help.
After being referred from one specialist to another, he finally came across a doctor who solved the problem. "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 up against the base of your spine. 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 couldnt concentrate long enough to answer, but decided he had no choice but to go under the knife.
When he left the hospital, his mind was clear, 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 walked past a mens clothing store and thought, "Thats what I need, a new suit." He entered the shop and told the salesman, "Id like a new suit."
The salesman eyed him briefly and said, "Lets see... size 44 long."
Joe laughed, "Thats right, how did you know?"
"Its my job."
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, "Lets see,... 34 sleeve and... 16 and a half neck."
Joe was surprised, "Thats right, how did you know?"
"Its my job."
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 Joes feet and said, "Lets see...9 and a half wide."
Joe was astonished, "Thats right, how did you know?"
"Its my job."
Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about a new hat?"
Without hesitating, Joe said, "Sure!"
The salesman eyed Joes head and said, "Lets see. . . 7 5/8."
Joe was incredulous, "Thats right, how did you know?"
"Its my job."
The hat fit perfectly. Joe was feeling great, when the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?"
Joe thought for a second and said, "Sure!"
The salesman stepped back, eyed Joes waist and said, "Lets see... size 36."
Joe laughed, "No, Ive worn size 34 since I was 18 years old."
The salesman shook his head and said, "You cant wear a size 34. It would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache!"
