sheds his blood with me shall be my brother - Shakespeare
In line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him,
"My elbow hurts
like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor."
"Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike
replies.
"There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a
urine sample and
the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.
It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars . . A lot cheaper
than a doctor."
So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to
Wal-Mart .
He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for
the urine
sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits.
Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:
"You have tennis elbow . Soak your arm in warm water and avoid
heavy activity.
It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping @
Wal-Mart."
That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology
was, Joe began
wondering if the computer could be fooled.
He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine
samples from his
wife and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure.
Joe hurries back to Wal-Mart, eager to check the results. He
deposits ten
dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.
The computer prints the following:
- Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)
- Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo.(Aisle 7)
- Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
- Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
- If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better!
T hank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart
