A man was in a terrible accident, and his "manhood" was mangled
and torn from his body. His doctor assured him that modern
medicine could give him back his manhood, but that his insurance
wouldn't cover the surgery, since it was considered cosmetic.
The doctor said that the cost would be $3,500 for "small,"
6,500 for "medium," and $14,000 for "large." The man was sure he
would want a medium or large, but the doctor urged him to talk it
over with his wife before he made any decision.
The man called his wife on the phone and explained their
options. The doctor came back into the room, and found the man
looking quite dejected. "Well, what have the two of you decided?"
asked the doctor.
The man answered, "She'd rather remodel the kitchen."

After a long night of making love this guy rolls over, was
looking around when he noticed a framed picture of another man on
the night stand by the bed. Naturally, the guy began to worry. "is
this your husband?" he
inquired nervously.
"No silly", she replied, snuggling up to him.
"Your boyfriend then?" he asked.
"No, not at all" she said, nibbling away at his ear.
"Well, who is he then?" demanded the bewildered guy.
Calmly, the girl replied, "That's me before the surgery."
Bull!
A man takes his wife to the State Fair and one of the exhibits
is that of breeding bulls. They come up to the first pen and
there's a sign that says
"This bull mated 50 times last year." The wife pokes her
husband in the ribs and says, "He mated 50 times last year."
They walked a little further and see another pen with a sign
that says, "This bull mated 120 times last year." The wife hits
her husband and says
"That's more than twice a week! You could learn a lot from
him."
They walk further and a third pen has a bull with a sign
saying, "This Bull mated 365 times last year." The wife gets
really excited and says "That's once a day!" You could REALLY
learn something from this one."
The husband looks at her and says "Go up and ask him if it was
with the same cow."
"People get real comfortable with their features. Nobody
gets comfortable with their hair. Hair trauma. It's the
universal thing." ?

Male Pattern Baldness
Androgenetic alopecia is a process that changes the
follicles that produce terminal hairs. Follicles first
produce thinner, shorter hairs with weaker shafts.
Eventually, these follicles produce only fine, almost
invisible, vellus hairs, and they may die out altogether.
Androgenetic alopecia requires three conditions for its
occurrence the genes for hair loss, male hormones in
adequate quantities, and time.

A small-town prosecuting attorney called his first
witness to the stand in a trial -- a grandmotherly,
elderly woman. He approached her and asked, "Mrs.
Jones, do you know me?"
She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you Mr.
Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy.
And frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me.
You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate
people and talk about them behind their backs. You
think you're a rising big shot when you haven't the
brains to realize you never will amount to anything
more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to
do he pointed across he room and asked, "Mrs. Jones,
do you know the defense attorney?"
She again replied, "Why, yes I do. I've known Mr.
Bradley since he was a youngster, too. I used to
baby-sit him for his parents. And he, too, has been a
real disappointment to me. He's lazy, bigoted, and he
has a drinking problem. The man can't build a normal
relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one
of the shoddiest in the entire state. Yes, I know
him."
At this point, the judge rapped the courtroom to
silence and called both counselors to the bench. In a
very quiet voice, he said with menace, "If either of
you asks her if she knows me, you'll be jailed for
contempt!"
Advice
A man was called in for an audit by the IRS. So,
he asked his accountant for advice on what to wear.
"Wear your worst clothing and an old pair of shoes.
Let them think you are a pauper," the accountant
replied.
Then he asked his lawyer the same question, but
got the opposite advice "Don't let them intimidate
you. Wear your best suit and an expensive tie."
Confused, the man went to his Minister, told him
of the conflicting advice, and asked him what he
should do. "Let me tell you a story," replied the
Minister. "A woman, about to be married, asked her
mother what to wear on her wedding night 'Wear a
heavy, long, flannel night-gown that goes right up to
your neck and wool socks.' But when she asked her
best friend, she got conflicting advice "Wear your
most sexy negligee, with a V neck right down to your
navel."
The man protested "But Reverend, what does all
this have to do with my problem with the IRS?"
"It doesn't matter what you wear; you're going to
get screwed."
