• A story of Dr. Gordon Geezer

    From a425couple@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 7 15:03:29 2018
    An old physician, Doctor Gordon Geezer, became very bored in retirement
    and decided to re-open a medical clinic.

    He put a sign up outside that said: "Dr. Geezers clinic. Get your
    treatment for $500 - if not cured, get back $1,000."

    Doctor Digger Young, who was positive that this old geezer didn't know
    beans about medicine, thought this would be a great opportunity to get
    $1,000. So he went to Dr. Geezers clinic.

    Dr. Young: "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you
    please help me?"

    Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in
    Dr. Young's mouth."

    Dr. Young: Aaagh! -- This is Gasoline!"

    Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations!

    You've got your taste back. That will be $500."

    Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to
    recover his money.

    Dr. Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."

    Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in
    the patient's mouth."

    Dr. Young: "Oh, no you don't -- that is Gasoline!"

    Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be
    $500."

    Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after
    several more days.

    Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak --- I can hardly see anything!"

    Dr. Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so, "Here�s your
    $1000 back" (giving him a $10 bill).
    Dr. Young: "But this is only $10!"

    Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."

    Moral of the story -- Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you
    can outsmart an "old Geezer"

    Remember: Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the
    first place, so it doesn�t take much to annoy us.



    ENJOY YOUR DAY!!!

    Erm yes, I see this has been americanised. i first heard this about ten
    years ago from a British comedian, where the clinic was in harley Street and the costs were in pounds, but otherwise the same thing was true.


    This just shows what a lifetime of learning can do for you.
    Would it not be good if we could download all of this learning to another brain when ours becomes addled?
