An elderly, retired doctor became very bored in his retirement, so decided to open a medical clinic.
He put a sign up outside that said: "Dr. JONES clinic.
Get your treatment for $500, if not cured, get back $1,000."
A young physician, Doctor MALLARD, saw the sign.
He was positive that the old doctor didn't know anything about modern medicine, and thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1,000.
So he went to see the old doctor.
Dr. MALLARD: "Dr. JONES, I have lost all taste in my mouth.
Can you please help me?"
Dr. JONES: "Nurse, please bring medicine from Box 22 and put three drops in Dr. MALLARD's mouth."
Dr. MALLARD: “Aaagh! This is petrol!"
Dr. JONES: "Congratulations! You have your taste back.
That will be $500."
Dr. MALLARD: Gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.
Dr. MALLARD: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."
Dr. JONES: "Nurse, please bring medicine from
Box 22
and put three drops in the patient's mouth."
Dr. MALLARD: "Oh, no you don't, that's petrol!"
Dr. JONES: "Congratulations! You have your memory back.
That will be $500."
After having lost $1,000, Dr. MALLARD leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.
Dr. MALLARD: "My eyesight has become weak… I can hardly see anything!
Dr. JONES: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so, " Here's your $1,000 back."
Giving him a $10 note.
Dr. Mallard: "But this is only $10!”
Dr. JONES: "Congratulations! You have your vision back!;
That will be $500."
MORAL OF STORY:
Just because you're young doesn’t mean you can outsmart an old guy.
REMEMBER:
Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off.
