One day, in line at a company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him, My
>elbow hurts like hell. I guess I had better see a Doctor. "Listen, you
>don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies. "There's a
>diagnostic computer down at K-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 Dr."
>So Joe puts a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to K-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 it in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two
>weeks, Thank you for shopping at K-mart.
>That afternoon, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe
>began wondering if the computer could be fooled. When he got home, he
>mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his
>wife and daughter and his own sperm sample for good measure, and hurried to
>K-mart before it closed, eager to check the results.
>He deposited ten dollars, poured in his concoction, and waited for the
>results. The computer lights up, and ten seconds later prints out the
>following.
>1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener kit. (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 at K-mart.
