The one-armed man

A man lost an arm when his golf cart rolled over on him on a down slope. He became very depressed because he loved to play golf. One day in his despair, he decided to commit suicide and end it all.
 
He got on an elevator and went to the top of the building to jump off.
 
He was standing on the ledge looking down when he saw a man way down below on the sidewalk skipping along, whooping and kicking up his heels. He looked more closely and saw that this man didn’t have any arms at all.
 
He started thinking, “What am I doing up here feeling sorry for myself? I still have one good arm to do things with”.
 
He thought, “There goes a man with no arms skipping down the sidewalk so happy, and getting on with his life”.
 
He hurried down to the sidewalk and caught up with this man and told him how glad he was to see him because, since he had lost one of his arms, hefelt useless and was going to kill himself. He thanked him for saving his life and said he knew he could make it with one arm if the guy could go on with no arms.
 
The man with no arms began dancing and whooping and kicking up his heels again.
 
The one-armed man asked, “Why are you so happy anyway?”
 
The man with no arms said, “I’m NOT happy. My balls itch”.
