"What on earth for?" asks the doctor in amazement.
"It's something I've been thinking about for a long time and I want to have it done." replies Arthur.
"But have you thought it through properly?" asks the doctor.
"It's a very serious operation and once it's done, there's no going back. It will change your life forever!"
"I'm aware of that Doc and you're not going to change my mind; either you book me in to be castrated or I'll simply go to another doctor."
"Well, OK," says the doctor, "but it's against my better judgement!"
So, Arthur has his operation and the next day he is up and walking very slowly, legs apart, down the hospital corridor with his IV stand.
Heading toward him is another patient, who is walking exactly the same way.
"Hi there." says Arthur.
"It looks like you've just had the same operation as me."
"Well," said the other patient, "I finally decided after 67 years that I would like to be circumcised ."
Arthur stared at him in horror...
