A man was in bad shape. He constantly gasped for breath, and his eyes bulged. The doctors didn’t give him long to live. He decided to live it up. After withdrawing all his money from the bank, he went on a shopping spree. His last stop was at the city's most expensive haberdashery.
He pointed out a dozen silk shirts. He wore a size fourteen. The clerk said, “Your neck looks bigger than fourteen. You need a sixteen.”The man said, “I know my size. I want them in a fourteen.”The clerk said, “I’ll get them for you, but I want to warn you… If you wear a fourteen, you’ll gasp all day, and your eyes will bulge.”
