One day, in line at the 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 deposits 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 your arm in warm water and
> avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks."
> Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart.
>
> 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 Wal-Mart, 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. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
>
> 5. If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never
> get better.
