A bloke walked into the casualty department of a hospital. He was bent double with pain, and both his hands were clasped between his legs which were tightly clenched.

"What's the trouble?" said the nurse.

"Arggh! I got hit by a cricket ball and I'm in agony. Can you do something, please?

"Don't worry -just take off your trousers and pants and lie on the couch over there."

The nurse then massaged his testicles for half an hour, then said:-

"There, does that feel better?"

"Yes", said the bloke, "feels great , but I still reckon I might lose the fingernail!"
