One day Bill complained to his friend that his elbow really hurt. His friend suggested that he go use the new computer at the pharmacy that can diagnose anything quicker and cheaper than a doctor.
"Simply put in a sample of your urine and the computer will diagnose your problem and tell you how to cure it. It only costs $10." Bill figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a urine sample and went back to the pharmacy. Finding the computer, he poured in the sample and deposited the $10. The computer started making some noises and various lights started flashing. After a brief pause, out popped a small slip of paper on which was printed:"You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water. Avoid heavy lifting. It will be better within two weeks."
Later that evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was and how it would change medical science forever, he began to wonder if this machine could be fooled.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. The next day he went back to the pharmacy, located the machine, poured in the sample and deposited the $10. The computer again made the usual noises/flashing lights and printed out the following message:
"Your tap water isnt clean. Get a water purifier. Your dog has worms. Get him vitamins. Your daughter is using cocaine. Put her in a rehabilitation clinic. Your wife is pregnant with twin girls. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer. And if you don't stop jerking off, your tennis elbow will never get better."
