One day Bill complained to his friend that his elbow really
hurt. His friend suggested that he go to 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.” 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.”
Later 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 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.”
