>Sergeant Mack had a fine time during his stay in Hong Kong, but paid for it
>when he came down with a strange oriental venereal disease. So he made the
>rounds of every American doctor in the community. To his horror he
>discovered  that not only were they unable to cure him, they all informed
>him that the only  course of treatment was to have his penis amputated.
>
>Desperate, Sergeant Mack made an appointment with a leading Chinese doctor,
>figuring that he might know more about an eastern malady. "So you, Doctor
>Cheung, think I need to have my dick amputated?" he asked anxiously.
>
>"No, no, no," replied the Chinese doctor testily.
>
>A huge smile broke out over the serviceman's face. "Boy, that's great, Doc.
>Every one of those American medics said they'd have to cut it off."
>
>"Those Western doctors--all they ever want to do is cut, cut, cut," explained
>Dr Cheung exasperatedly. "You just wait two weeks. Penis fall off all by
>itself."
