One day Bill complained to his friend that his elbow really hurt.
His friend suggested that he go to a computer at the drug store 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 what you can do about it. It only costs $10."
Bill
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 the
sample and deposited the $10.
The
computer started making some noise 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 in 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.
He went back to the drug store, located the machine, poured in the sample and deposited the $10.
The computer again made the usual noise and printed out the following message-
"Your
tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. Your dog has worms.
Get him vitamins. Your daughter is using cocaine. Put her in a
rehabilitation clinic.
