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) http://blog.i.ua/user/2864472/779569/ -- Alexander Motin
