A draftee went in for his physical wearing a

truss and with a little convincing acting got his papers marked
M.E.
for Medically Exempt.

Afterward a friend borrowed the
truss to wear for his physical. At the
end of the examination the
doctor stamped M.E. on his papers.

“Does that mean I’m medically
exempt?” he asked.

“No,” answered the doctor. “M.E. stands for
Middle East. Anyone who
can wear a truss upside down can certainly ride
a camel.”
