>One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Jack says to Mike
>behind him, "My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I better see a
>doctor."
>
>"Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike
>replies. "There's a diagnostic computer at the drugstore at the
>corner. Just give it a urine sample and the computer'll tell you
>what's wrong and what to do about it. It takes ten seconds and
>costs ten dollars...a hell of a lot cheaper than a doctor."
>
>So Jack deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to
>the drugstore. 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."
>
>That evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was,
>Jack 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 masturbated into the mixture for good
>measure.
>
>Jack hurries back to the drugstore, 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.
>2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo.
>3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
>4. Your wife is pregnant...twin girls. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
>5. If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get
>better."
