Joe went to bed every night at the same time and woke up at the same time every morning. Joe slept in the same room in the same bed every night. Sunday through Friday, Joe felt great as he went on his merry way, yet every Saturday Joe suffered from a headache. What was wrong with Joe?

[Izzy]

Hangover?

[Guest]

Sorry, Izzy, I probably should have specified that Joe is a teetotler.

[Guest]

He was a security guard on saturdays???

[Guest]

Joe is a creature of habit. Every Friday night he eats fish. He is allergic to it and doesn't know it. So, every Saturday he has a headache because of an allergic reaction.

[Prof. Templeton]

Joe lives near the baseball field in my town. Where, no matter what time the game ends, they insist on shooting off fireworks every friday night. Joe gets a headache from lack of sleep and noise.

Spoiler for Or:

It could be the church bells from friday night mass to do it.

[Guest]

He's got Friday Night Fever!

[Guest]

Yes, Joe is a creature of habit. I like the answer about the fish, but that wasn't what I had in mind. The answer is similar.

[Guest]

He can't stand the stupid cartoons that come on Saturday morning.

[Guest]

No, Alyanna is on track; she just needs to go in the opposite direction.

[Guest]

He is muslim/catholic/jewish/other so fasts on friday/saturday. I don't actually know if any religion does this on these days, but fasting gives me a headache!

[Guest]

A bit closer, but he's not fasting. He is abstaining from something for some reason. Does that make it more obvious?

[Prof. Templeton]

Maybe it was

M.S.G.?

[Nikyma]

No coffee?

[Guest]

No coffee?

that make senses

he's an orthodox jew and can't use electricity to make coffee on saturday. Although I suppose he could drink cold coffee. Or maybe something else that is restricted on saturdays.

[Guest]

caffeine withdrawl (which he abstains from consuming on Fridays)

[peace*out]

He is muslim/catholic/jewish/other so fasts on friday/saturday. I don't actually know if any religion does this on these days, but fasting gives me a headache!

i've fasted to 3 'oclock (pm) one day and 2:30pm on another.

i got hungry, but not a headache.

[Guest]

Since Joe's a todler ...

[spoiler='well...

']Probably every friday night his parents went out. So they hire a babysitter. Now the sitter is not the best sitter around. In fact, she is the worst. She make him do a bunch of stuff, and hit him in the head a lot. That's why on the next day he got a headache...

[peace*out]

THat's one bad baby sitter!!!

[Guest]

ok

he is not a drinker but is catholic and get a little too drunk on wine at mass fri night. Could he be a priest?

[Guest]

Nikyma answered what, while Puzzlegirl answered why. Joe doesn't drink coffee on Saturdays since he doesn't have to be alert for a morning of relaxation. As for the why, caffeine is a natural pain killer. Our bodies become habituated to it (it's not really withdrawal, but close), and a headache is often is the result if we don't consume some when we are accustomed to. Good Work!

[Guest]

I can vouch for the headache. I used to shoot in pool tournaments, all day on Sunday no coffee, took lake to drink when i got home with having to get some sleep and go to work the next morning. I even called in sick the first time it happened. Talk about a sick headache, it was excruciating!

I went cold turkey about more than a year ago. I wasn't drinking much before, but I had to quit for medical reasons. Now I can't drink anything with caffeine in it. I can't even drink green tea or any dark ones and here in Serbia they don't process them to remove the caffeine
