The Value of Securing a Second Opinion



The doctor said, "Joe, the good news is I can cure
your horrendous 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 heck 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. But given the terrible pains
that he’d been suffering for years he felt that 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, at last headache free.



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!"

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 16-1/2 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...9-1/2 E." 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 "Ah ha! I got you! I've worn size 34
since I was 18 years old."



The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size
34. A 34 underwear would press your testicles up
against the base of your spine and give you one heck
of a headache."
