“Certainly,sir,I'll take your measurement.”The tailor measured Eric and wrote down the measurements.
Eric saw that he had written down a size 16neck.
“You're made a mistake,”he told him.“My neck size is 14.All my shirts are size 14.”
“No,sir,”the tailor said.“You may be wearing a size 14,but your neck is a size 16.And if you continue to wear a size 14,sooner or later you'll get bad pain in your neck.”
