Wal Mart
One day while in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him, "My elbow hurts like hell, I guess I had better see a doctor". "Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money", Mike replies. "There'* a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what'* 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. Joe pours the sample in to the slot and waits.
Ten seconds later the computer ejects a printout which says "You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping at 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 result.
The computer prints out 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 7.
3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into Rehab.
4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They are not yours. Get a Lawyer.
5. If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better !!!!!!
THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING AT WAL-MART.
