on

> Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to 
 
live

> When he left the hospital, he was without a headache for the first 
 
time

himself. 
 
>As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different

> He saw a men's clothing store and thought, 'That's what I need... a 
 
new

suit.'

a

neck.'

> 
 
> ' Been in the business 60 years.'

> Joe tried on the shirt, and it fit perfectly.

> Joe walked comfortably around the shop, and the salesman asked, 'How 
 
 
 
>about some new underwear?' 
 
> 
 
> Joe thought for a moment and said, 'Sure.' 
 
> 
 
> The salesman said, 'Let's see...size 36.' 
 
> 
 
> Joe 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

>hell of a headache.'
