A man has been suffering excruciating headaches for years and finally goes to see the doctor. After a thorough examination the doc sighs and tells the man that he knows what's causing his headaches, but that the cure may be worse than the illness. The man insists that the doc explains and the doctor says, "You're spine is pressing into your balls, that's what's causing the pain. The only way I can stop the headaches is to cut your balls off, I'm really sorry".
The man thinks for a while and finally decides that he can't live with the pain of the headaches any more. He goes back to the doc and has the painful operation.
A few days later he is released from hospital, and, on his way home decides to stop and do some shopping in town. As he walks down the high street, he sees a tailor's shop and decides to treat himself to a new suit, to re-build his self-esteem.
He goes in and looks around, the tailor is a little old man who's worked in the trade for years and is keen to help. The man picks out a jacket and the tailor says "Ah, excellent choice, sir, a 46 regular for you I think" "Don't you need to measure me?" asks the man. "Not at all", says the tailor, "I can do this by eye, as I have years of experience". Trying the jacket on, the man is amazed at the perfect fit. He asks the tailor for a shirt to match and the tailor gives him a 17.5 collar, again without measuring, insisting that his years of experience make it easy for him. The process is repeated for a pair of trousers, by now the man is amazed at how good the tailor is.
Finally the man decides that a new set of underwear is in order, "Certainly, sir, a 38 for you I think" "ah-ha", says the man, "I've caught you this time! I wear 36, and I have done all my life!"
The tailor looks confused and finally says..."But sir, if someone with your build was to wear a size 36, they would push your balls into your spine and give you the most terrible headaches"
