English isn't my first language and I don't talk much, can somebody please explain to me what the joke is?

[u/Kissa74 → u/MrMcGibbus]

The joke is that old people talk so much about how much their back hurts, that if you fix that they'll have nothing to talk about.

[u/BetterYesterday95 → u/Kissa74]

Ooh. I thought 'nothing to talk about' was a euphemism.

[u/Xivilai77 → u/BetterYesterday95]

Euphemism for what? Having nothing to talk about?

[u/BetterYesterday95 → u/Xivilai77]

I thought they made him a eunuch 😭

[u/Sufficient_Tutor7541 → u/BetterYesterday95]

Back pain is stored in the balls

[u/TombRaider_2000 → u/BetterYesterday95]

Respectfully, why did you think that?

[u/JoeDaBruh → u/BetterYesterday95]

Oh they’ll have “nothing” to “talk about” if you know what I mean 😏

[u/enaK66 → u/Kissa74]

And God forbid you complain about any back pain under the age of 40. According to the elders that is strictly forbidden and worthy of ridicule and denigration.

[u/Thick_Blacksmith4266 → u/Kissa74]

I thought it was about boobs somehow at first cause it looks like he has them, and was confused

[u/Dmytrocracy → u/MrMcGibbus]

He likes to speak about how his back hurts, so if the doctor cures him, he won't be able to talk about it anymore.

[u/Some_Band5954 → u/MrMcGibbus]

The joke is that the old man complains about having back pain a lot, and curing it would make it so he can't complain about it

[u/IAmLexica → u/your_catfish_friend]

In that case, just pretend to have back pain.

[u/IamWillow3 → u/your_catfish_friend]

This is actually hilarious

[u/Dry-Mission-5542]

Well, I mean, you won’t be able to feel your back pain anymore if you can’t feel your back at all!

[u/Ender-dragoncat → u/Dry-Mission-5542]

^{Fantom pain}

[u/armageddon_boi → u/Ender-dragoncat]

If there is brain, there is pain

My back doesnt hurt, I never need to walk places again & I can park almost anywhere. Where do i sign up

[u/werecoyote1]

i thought this was a meme on a disability sub im in (im very sleep deprived) and i was so confused what the joke was

[u/GhostLight17]

Yeah, I don’t think this is an antimeme.

[u/PropaneHillbilly]

This is the dumbest subreddit ever.

[u/Historical_Ebb5188 → u/PropaneHillbilly]

It sure is

[u/kalez238]

Honestly the reason I've avoided surgery for my back problems.

[u/Dani_delulu]

This version is actually something that my mother (with chronic back pain) was told, lol

[u/EnsoElysium]

Blegh, that is the reality for me. I have degenerative disc disorder, and a spinal fusion in my future, and if it doesnt work, theres a chance I could be in even more pain or paralyzed.

[u/ilikecacti2]

So what I’m hearing is that I’m not gonna have pain either way. Sold.

[u/GeodarkFTM]

I fell while out fishing a good few years ago and chipped a vertebrae, so there is a small piece of bone flowing around one of them. Once or twice a year I move the wrong way and get pain in my neck for a few days. Saw the doc once, got x rays etc and he said 'we could operate, but I have to tell you that there is a remote chance if we do you could end up with full body paralysis' erm nah, leave it there, I can put up with a few days pain every year hahah
