In the middle of World War II, a draftee goes
in for his physical wearing a truss, and with a
little convincing acting, gets his papers
marked M.E. for Medically Exempt.
Not long after, a friend gets his orders to
report for a physical, and he borrows the
other fellow's truss. At the end of the
examination, the doctor stamped M.E. on his
papers.
"Does that mean I'm medically exempt?" he
asked.
"No," the examining doctor says. "M.E.
stands for Middle East. Anyone who can
wear a truss upside-down can certainly
ride a camel."
