>>> COSTCO DOCTOR >>> >>> >>> One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike, "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 Costco. 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 $10.00. A lot cheaper than a doctor." >>> >>> >>> So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to >>> Costco. He >>> deposits $10.00 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 at Costco. >>> >>> >>> That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe >>> began wondering if the computer could be fooled. So, he mixed some >>> tap water, a >>> stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and >>> daughter, and a >>> sperm sample from himself for good measure. He hurries back to Costco, >>> eager to check the results. He deposits $10.00, 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 with twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer. >>> 5. If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get >>> better. >>> >>> >>> Thank you for shopping at Costco!
