Tennis Elbow
Bob complained to his friend "My elbow really hurts. I guess I
should see a doctor." His friend offered, "Don't do that!!! There's
a computer at the drug store that can diagnose anything, quicker
and cheaper than a doctor. Simply put in a sample of your urine
and the computer will diagnose your problem and tell you what you
can do about it. It only costs $10.00."
Bob figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a urine
sample and went to the drug store. Finding the computer, he poured
in the sample and deposited the $10.00. The computer started making
some noises and the various lights started flashing. After a brief
pause out popped a small slip of paper on which was printed:
You have tennis elbow
Soak your arm in warm water.
Avoid heavy labor
It will be better in two weeks.
Late that evening while thinking how amazing this new technology
was and how it would change medical science forever, he began to
wonder if this machine could be fooled. He decided to give it a
try. He mixed together some tap water, a stool sample from his dog
and urine samples from his wife and daughter. To top it off, he
masturbated into the concoction. He went back to the drug store,
located the machine, poured in the sample and deposited the $10.00.
The machine again made the usual noise and printed out the following
analysis:
Your tap water is too hard
Get a water softener.
Your dog has worms
Give him vitamins.
Your daughter's on drugs,
Put her in rehab.
Your wife's pregnant
It ain't yours---get a lawyer.
And if you don't stop jerking off, your tennis elbow will never
get better.
