Medically Exempt

A draftee went in for his physical wearing a truss and with a little convincing acting got his papers marked M.E. for Medically Exempt.

Afterward a friend borrowed the truss to wear for his physical. At the end of the examination the doctor stamped M.E. on his papers.

- Does that mean I'm medically exempt? - he asked.

- No - answered the doctor.

- M.E. stands for Middle East. Anyone who can wear a truss upside down can certainly ride a camel.
