John had a terrible accident which mangled his private parts, requiring they be removed. His spirit was broken.
His doctor told him: "John, all is not lost. I can make you better than before. It is possible for us to replace your lost member with a prostetic. However, the procedure is considered cosmetic and would not be paid by your insurance.
The hope of regaining his manly prowess lifted John's heart to ask: "How much would it cost?"
His doctor explained: "You can get the 4 inch model for £6,000.00 (John's frown quickly faded); or the 6 incher for £7,500.00 (John began to smile); or you may have the 9 inch version for £10,000.00." (John grinned as his eyes widened with anticipation)
"But normally I insist that the decision be made only after you've consulted with your wife"
John happily agreed, and set off for home.
Upon his next return, the doctor asked for his decision. John hung his head sadly, replying: "She said for that kind of money, she'd rather a new kitchen."
