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 lf 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 hell of a headache."



New suit - $400



New shirt - $36



New under wear - $6



Second Opinion -PRICELESS


Second opinion - worthless because it was too late
