Thanks, Tortilla Man, for this awesome joke!
One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him,
“My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I 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.
Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart
