A man wakes up in the hospital, bandaged from head to foot. Â The doctor
comes in and says, “Well, I see you’ve regained consciousness. Â Now, you
probably won’t remember, but you were in a pile-up on the freeway. Â You’re
going to be okay, you’ll walk again and everything, but something happened.
I’m trying to break this gently, but the fact is, your willy was chopped off in
the wreck, and we were unable to find it.”
The man groans, but the doctor goes on, “You’ve got $9,000 in insurance
compensation coming, and we now have the technology to build you a new
willy that will work as well as your old one did – better in fact! Â But the thing
is, it doesn’t come cheap. Â It’s $1,000 an inch.” Â The man perks up at this.
“So,” continues the doctor, “it’s for you to decide how many inches you want.
But it’s something you’d better discuss with your wife. Â I mean, if you had a five-
inch one before, and you decide to go for a nine incher, she might be a bit put out.
But if you had a nine-inch one before, and you decide only to invest in a five-
incher this time, she might be disappointed. Â So it’s important that she plays a role in helping you make the decision.”
The man agrees to talk with his wife… Â The doctor comes back the next day.
“So,” says the doctor, “have you spoken with your wife?”
“I have,” says the man.
“And what is the decision?” asks the doctor..
“We’re getting granite countertops.”
