A man complained to his friends "My elbow really hurts. I guess I should go
to a doctor." His buddy offered, "don't do that! There's a computer at the
drug store that can diagnose anything, quicker and cheaper than a doctor.
Simply put a sample of urine in the machine and computer will diagnose your
problem and let you know what can be done about it. It costs only ten
bucks.
The man 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 his
sample and deposited 10 bucks. The computer made some noises and many
lights started to flash. After a moment, out came a piece of paper in which
was printed: "You have tennis elbow - Soak your arm in warm water, avoid
heavy labor - it will be better in 2 weeks.
The man was amazed! Later that evening while thinking about how incredible
the machine was, he started to get skeptical. He began to wonder if the
machine could be fooled. He decided to give it a try. 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 that machine, poured the sample and deposited his ten bucks. The
machine made the usual sounds and the lights flashed, and out came the
following analysis:
Your tap water is too hard - Get a water softener.
Your dog has worms - give him vitamins.
Your daughter's on drugs - Put her in rehab.
Your wife is pregnant - It isn't yours - get a lawyer.
And if you don't stop jerking off, your tennis elbow will never get better.
