Wal-marts
One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike, "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 Walmart.
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. It's
a lot cheaper than a doctor."
So Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Walmart. 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 at Walmart."
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 Walmart, 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 7)
3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
4. Your wife is pregnant with twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
5. If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get
better.
Thank you for shopping at Walmart.
