There's Always an Alternative to Surgery

[Guest guest]

dr.Stan relates:

 

Joe was a successful lawyer, but as he got older he

was

increasingly hampered by incredible headaches.

 

When his career and love life started to suffer, he

sought medical

help.

 

After being referred from one specialist to another,

he finally came

across an old country 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, 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 couldn't concentrate long enough to

answer, but decided

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

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! "

 

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

sleeve, and a 16

and a half neck. "

 

Joe was surprised, " That's right, how did you know? "

 

" Been in the business 60 years! "

 

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 Joe's feet and said, " Let's see... 9

and a half. "

 

Joe was astonished, " That's right, how did you know? "

 

" Been in the business 60 years! "

 

Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly.

 

Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the

salesman asked, " How

about some new underwear? "

 

Joe thought for a second and said, " Sure. "

 

The salesman stepped back, eyed Joe's waist and said,

" Let's see...

size 36. "

 

Joe laughed, " Ahh ha! I've got you! I've worn size 34

since I was 18

years old. "

 

The salesman shook his head, " You can't possibly wear

a size 34.

Size 34 underwear would press your testicles up

against the base of

your spine and give you one hell of a headache. "
