The doctor said, “Bill, 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.”
Bill 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.”
Bill laughed, “That’s right, how did you know?” “Been in the business
60 years!” the tailor said.
Bill tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As Bill admired himself in
the mirror, the salesman asked, “How about a new shirt?”
Bill thought for a moment and then said, “Sure.”
The salesman eyed Bill and said, “Let’s see 34 sleeves and 16-1/2
neck.”
Bill was surprised, “That’s right, how did you know?”
“Been in the business 60 years.”
Bill tried on the shirt and it fit perfectly. Bill walked comfortably
around the shop and the salesman asked, “How about some new underwear?”
Bill thought for a moment and said, “Sure.”
The salesman said, “Let’s see … size 36.”
Bill 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 heck of a headache.”
Bill is now on Prozac for severe depression…
