One day Bill 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 an 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."
Bill 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. The computer started making some noise and 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
lifting. 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. The computer again made the usual noise and printed out the
following message:
Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. Your dog has worms. Get him
vitamins. Your daughter is using cocaine. Put her in a rehabilitation clinic.
Your wife is pregnant with twin girls. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer. And if
you don't stop jerking off, your tennis elbow will never get better.
