- In several years on rec.humor, I haven't seen this joke.
- I was reminded of it this morning -- don't ask how. Here goes.
- Stop me if you've heard it before :-)
-
- A man goes to the doctor, and he says "Doc - I've been
- feeling fine, but suddenly I'm getting these sharp pains, from here
- to here." { point to any two body parts you especially like }
-
- The doctor tries everything - X-rays here, poking there,
- taking blood out of this, banging a hammer on that - but he looks
- perplexed. After all the tests, he takes the man into his office
- with a worried look. "Well, it's tough to diagnose, but it could be
- bio-plaktanosis of the frambular region. Anyway, with pains like
- that, whatever it is, you'll be dead within a week."
-
- The man is clearly worried, and he seeks a second opinion
- (such as "you're ugly, too"). He goes to a high-priced specialist,
- and says "Doc -- you've got to help me. I'm getting sharp pains from
- here to here."
-
- The doctor tries everything - poking here, X-rays there,
- banging a hammer on this, taking blood out of that - but the
- specialist is also perplexed. He takes the man into his private
- office and in a somber voice says "I'm not surprised that bumpkin
- doctor thought it was bio-plaktanosis of the frambular region, but it
- must be worse, maybe cranicular franitosa. Anyway, with pains like
- this, whatever it is will kill you within a day." ("Don't pay me with a
- check, ha, ha! Have a nice day!")
-
- Now the man is really depressed. He decides that all he can
- do is get a nice suit to be buried in. He goes to the foremost
- tailor in town. "Make me the best suit you can. Spare no expense."
-
- The tailor is pleased to oblige. He measures the man, makes
- the suit, fits it, puts it in a box. "Since you're dying and all,
- let me throw in some free socks." The man thanks the tailor for his
- thoughtfulness.
-
- In an unprecedented burst of generosity, the tailor adds
- "and some shorts, size 36."
-
- The man says "Thanks, but I wear a 32."
-
- The tailor says "A 32? Are you kidding me? If you wore a 32,
- you'd have a sharp pain from here to here."
-
- Ba-dum-Bump.
