I think it is about this one, sorry for my rough translation:

Man getting to a doctor:
M: Doctor, I have a problem THERE.
D: Undress please.
M: Can I accurately put shoes there?
D: Please.
Man carefully puts shoes aside to each other perpendicularly to the wall.
M: Can I accurately put my pants on a chair back?
D: Sure.
Man carefully puts pants on a chair.
M: Can I accurately put my underwear here?
D: OK.
Man carefully puts underwear on a couch, removing any pleats.
D: So what's the problem?
M: Can't you see? My testicles are on different height!
D: Don't worry, it is normal. You are not sick.
M: But that's not accurately enough! ("ne akkuratnenko kak-to" in
original transliteration)
