Costco doctor

> 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 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 ten dollars - a lot cheaper than a
> doctor.
>
> So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Costco.
>
>
> 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 @
> Costco"
>
> 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 from himself for good
> measure.
>
> Joe hurries back to Costco, 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!
>
> THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING @ COSTCO!
