It\'s really amazing what computers can do today!!!!!
One day, in line at the works cafeteria, Jack says to Mike
behind him, My elbow hurts like hell. I suppose I\'d better see
a doctor.\"
Listen, don\'t waste your time down at the surgery,\" Mike
replies. \"There\'s a diagnostic computer at Asda. Just give it a urine
sample and the computer will tell you what\'s wrong, and what to do about it.
Ittakes ten seconds and only costs five pounds.....a lot quicker
and better than a doctor\".
So Jack collects a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to
Asda.
He deposits five pounds, 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
at Asda\".
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 m@sturbated into the mixture for good measure.
Jack hurried back to Asda, eager to check what would happen. He
deposits five pounds, 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. Twins. They aren\'t yours. Get a lawyer.
5. And if you don\'t stop playing with yourself, your elbow will
never get better...........thank you for shopping at Asda
