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."
