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."
