Unknown Pain
Situation
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Situation
A man goes to the doctor and asks him to check him over. He says, "I feel extreme pain whenever I touch any part of my body. All parts of my body give me the same kind of terrible pain." The doctor is amazed to hear that. He asks the person to have an X-ray of his whole body and to come to him the next day. The man does exactly what the doctor had said. The next day the doctor tells him his problem.

another remake of a bad joke
i thought it was great, mogmatt16, I don't see anything funny about it! Why do you have to be so mean about things that you've heard elsewhere! Besides, how do you know that the joke was made first? The joke could be a "bad re-make" of a teaser!!!!!!!

he also is extremely stupid if he cant feel the difference between pain in his finger and pain in the part of the body he is touching!!
o.k., you have no sence of humor if you;ve never heard the joke, and who would make a joke out of a horrible teaser?!?!?
What is an "irresistible pain"?
I agree Mogmatt, I heard this joke awhile ago, and I didn't think it was that funny
i agree with Mad-Ade,what is an irrisistable pain?oh well,interesting teaser.
i agree. it was...interesting
Couldn't he touch parts of his body with his other parts eg. touch his leg to his other leg? Then he wouldn't feel pain! And what about the fingers that weren't broken!
Let's give it a rest. This is a situation teaser. While not necessarily a probable solution, it is nonetheless plausible. It can be arrived at by asking yes/no questions, which after all is the disclaimer to situation teasers.
irresistable pain is pain that you just can't get enough of *geez*
maybe the guy's a masochist?

I heard this as a blonde joke...
I've never heard the joke so I liked this teaser.
Couldn't he have been one of those people with a fear of diseases and needs mental adjustment?
One patient in the show House M.D. had a broken finger and said that it hurts when he touched any part of his body.
