ONLY AT WALMART!!
One day, in line at a 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 puts 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. He pours the sample into the slot and waits.
>
> Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout: You have tennis
> elbow. Soak it in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve
> in two weeks. Thank you for shopping @ Wal-mart.
>
> That afternoon, while thinking how amazing this new technology was,
> Joe began wondering if the computer could be fooled. When he got home,
> he mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples
> from his wife and daughter and his own sperm sample for good measure,
> and hurried to Wal-mart before it closed, eager to check the results.
>
> He deposited ten dollars, poured in his concoction, and awaited the
> results.
>
> The computer lights up, and ten seconds later prints the following:
>
> 1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener kit. (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 aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
> 5. If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get
> better.
