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 cup 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:
1. Your Tap Water Is Too Hard. Get A Water Softener. (Aisle 9)
2. Your Dog Has Ringworm. Bathe Him With Anti-Fungal Shampoo. (Aisle 12)
3. Your Daughter Has A Cocaine Habit. Get Her Into Rehab.
4. Your Wife Is Pregnant. Twins - They Aren't Yours. Get A Lawyer.
5. If You Don't Stop Playing With Yourself, Your Elbow Will Never Get
Better.
