After three months in the Far East, a businessman arrives home to discover that he's contracted a strange disease in the genital region. The doctor gives him the news that his penis will have to be amputated.
I demand a second opinion,' the businessman says. So he sees numerous doctors all over Europe and North America but all advocate the same form of surgical intervention. Despairing of western medicine, the businessman decides to consult an Oriental doctor. After all, it seems that he's contracted an Oriental disease. The doctor, whose office is full of snakes in bottles and strange herbal remedies, gives the man and his member an examination. 'No, amputation isn't necessary.' The patient is elated.

'Brilliant! I saw so many western doctors and they all said amputation was the only way.'

'Western doctors!' snorts the Chinese gentleman. 'What do they know? Any Oriental herbalist or acupuncturist could tell you that it'll drop off by itself in four to six weeks.'
