MAL was moderately successful in his career, but as he got older he was increasingly hampered by incredible headaches. When his personal hygiene and love life started to suffer, he sought medical help. After being referred from one specialist to another, he finally came across a 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. The pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."
MAL was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he has 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, his mind was clear, 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.
MAL walked past 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 salesman eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see... size 44 long." MAL laughed, "That's right, how did you know?"
"It's my job."
MAL tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As MAL admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?" MAL thought for a moment and then said, "Sure..."
The salesman eyed MAL and said, "Let's see... 34 sleeve and... 16 and a half neck" MAL was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?"
"It's my job."
MAL tried on the shirt, and it fit perfectly. As MAL adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about new shoes?" MAL was on a roll and said, "Sure ..."
The salesman eyed MAL'S feet and said, "Let's see... 9-1/2... E." MAL was astonished, "That's right, how did you know?"
"It's my job."
MAL tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. MAL walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about a new hat?" Without hesitating, MAL said, "Sure..."
The salesman eyed MAL'S head and said, "Let's see... 7-5/8." MAL was still astonished, "That's right, how did you know?"
"It's my job."
The hat fit perfectly. MAL was feeling great, when the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?" MAL thought for a second and said, "Sure..."
The salesman stepped back, eyed MAL'S waist and said, "Let's see... size 36."
MAL laughed, "No, I've worn size 34 since I was 18 years old."
The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. IT WOULD PRESS YOUR TESTICLES UP AGAINST THE BASE OF YOUR SPINE AND GIVE YOU ONE HELL OF A HEADACHE!!!!."
