Abstract
Article about jockstrap with a story on the woman who struggled to get a boyfriend and ended up going to the Chinese doctor who diagnosed Zachary syndrome.
You have to be careful when you name your child and sometimes you wonder if people make mistakes because they are stupid or just mean.
There was a bloke in our pub called Will Anchor which would have caused much merriment if it wasn’t for the fact that he was built like a brick wall and didn’t take kindly to anyone mispronouncing his name.
Then there was my old bank manager whose name Andrew Lunt meant he had to sign all his letters very carefully with a strongly defined letter L after the A in front.
How worse can it be when the letter from your bank manager calls in your overdraft and appropriately signs it as coming from a specific part of the female anatomy?
Then there is of course the old joke about the Scotsman everyone calls Jock who suffers from the surname of Strap.
The joke is so old I won’t tell it here but it does remind me of the one that goes along the lines of the twenty nine year old woman who has never had a boyfriend and coming up to her thirtieth is worried she will forever be left on the shelf.
This lady confides in her best girlfriend and says she has tried everything from blind dates to internet dating, diets and finally anti-depressants from her doctor.
Her friend tells her to try a new Chinese doctor in town and tells her she has nothing to lose so just do as he says.
At the Chinese doctor’s the woman is asked a number of questions and the doctor tells her to take her clothes off.
Reluctantly she removes most of her clothes but the doctor gets impatient and tells her to remove everything. When she objects he reminds her why she is here and to just do as he tells her if she wants help in finding a boyfriend.

More nervous than ever she removes every stitch of clothing and the doctor says well, now stand in the far corner of the room and bend over and look at me from between your legs.
(Trust me, this is much better repeated aloud and with an over the top Chinese accent.)
The doctor studies her upside down face looking back at him for a while and then tells her to put her clothes back on whilst he picks up his prescription pad and tells her he knows what her problem is.
She is nervous and curious when he tells her she has Zachary Syndrome, at last delighted to know there is a name for her condition.
When she asks what Zachary syndrome is he replies, (Don’t forget the Chinese accent here), your face exactly the same as your arse!
The Scotsman called jockstrap fares less well but there is only room for one tale here. A jockstrap was designed as a protective item of clothing for sportsmen but has evolved into a fashion item that is worn by many men and made from a number of materials.
