Walmart has Everything
One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to
Mike behind him, 'My elbow hurts like heck. 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 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!
