While waiting in the doctor's waiting room, two very nervous men got to talking. Within minutes, they discovered that they had very similar symptoms. One had a red ring around the base of his penis, and the other had a green ring. The guy with the red ring was examined first.
In a few minutes, he came out of the examining room and was all smiles. Going over to the other fellow, he said, "Don't worry, it's nothing."
Very relieved, the second guy entered the examining room, only to be told by the doctor, "I'm very sorry, but you have an advanced case of VD. I'm afraid you'll have to be castrated."

On January 2, 1997, Mr. C, an obese, white caucasian male, who appeared approximately 65 years old, but who could not accurately state his age, presented to my family practice office with complaints of generalized aches and pains, sore red eyes, depression, and general malaise.
