>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?

>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
