Joe had been suffering from debilitating headaches for over twenty years. Finally, a specialist offered a cure, but it came with a devastating catch.
“You have a rare condition where your testicles press directly against the base of your spine,” the doctor explained. “The only way to relieve the pressure and stop the headaches is castration.”
Desperate for relief, Joe reluctantly underwent the surgery. True to the doctor’s word, his headaches vanished completely. Though pain-free, Joe felt like a changed man and decided he needed a fresh start—beginning with a brand-new wardrobe.
He walked into a high-end clothing store, where an elderly tailor took one look at him and said, “Let’s see… you’re a size 44 long suit.”
Joe was amazed. “Wow, exactly right! How did you know?”
“Been in the business sixty years, son,” the tailor smiled.
After Joe tried on the perfectly fitted suit, the tailor eyed him again. “And you’ll be needing a new shirt. Size 16-and-a-half neck, 34 sleeve.”
“Incredible,” Joe gasped. “Right again!”
“Sixty years,” the tailor quipped. “Now, let’s get you some new underwear. You’re a size 36.”
Joe laughed triumphantly. “Aha! I finally caught you! I’ve worn a size 32 underwear since I was eighteen years old.”
The old tailor shook his head solemnly.
“Oh, you absolutely cannot wear a size 32, sir. If you did, it would press your testicles right up against the base of your spine and give you one heck of a headache!”
