A successful businessman called Joe.......

..........started to get headaches and as he got older they got steadily worse.

Eventually they started to impact on his career and love life and both started to suffer and he decided he needed to seek medical help.

After being referred from one specialist to another, prodded here, poked there, tested for this and that and with no diagnosis, he finally came across an old country doctor who was sure he could solve the problem.......

"The good news is I can cure your headaches....... BUT, the bad news is that it will require you to be castrated. You have a very rare condition which causes your testicles to press up against the base of your spine and the pressure creates the terrible, terrible, headaches you suffer from now. It's steadily going to get worse and the only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."

Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if life was worth living for. He couldn't concentrate, his health was suffering, he was being driven mad so decided he had no choice but to go under the knife......

When he left the hospital after the operation he was without a headache for the first time in 10 years, but he felt like something really important was missing. As he walked down the street, he realised that as he felt like a different person he could make a new beginning and start afresh as a new life.

He saw a men's clothing store and thought that a new set of clothes would cheer him up and he'd start with a new suit." He entered the shop and told the man serving, "I'd like a new suit." The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see... 14st 6 pound, 5' 9", size 42 regular."

Joe was amazed, "That's right, how did you know?". The elderly tailor responded "Been in business 60 years, always spot on"

Joe tried on the selected suit. It fitted perfectly. As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the elderly tailor asked, "how about a new shirt?" Joe thought for a moment and then said "yes, good idea to go with my new suit..."

The elderly tailor eyed Joe again and said "Now let's see...35" sleeves and...16 and a half neck."

Again Joe was surprised, "that's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years, always spot on" said the elderly tailor.

Joe tried one the shirt, and it fit perfectly. As Joe adjusted the collar and cuffs in the mirror, the elderly tailor asked "how about some new shoes?" Joe was on a roll now and said "yep, why not"

The elderly tailor scrutinised Joe's feet and said "Let's see... 9 and a half, width F...no, make that an E"

Astonished, Joe again said "that's right, how did you know?" The elderly tailor again responded "Been in the business 60 years, always spot on". Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. He walked around the shop and the elderly tailor asked "how about some new underwear, get the whole set in one go?"

Joe thought for a second and said, "may as well as I'm here"

The elderly tailor stepped back, looked him up and down and said "Let's see... size 36"

At this Joe laughed, "Ah, got you there! I've worn a size 34 since I was 18 years old."

The elderly tailor shook his head, "you can't wear a size 34. They will press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache........."
