new doctor- new tech-- new diagnostic tools

One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Jim says to Mike behind him,
"My
elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd 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
consulting

a doctor.................."

So, Jim 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....., the computer throws 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, Jim
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.

Jim 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 your tools , your elbow will
never get
better! and more u will see what your wife did

Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart
