He put a sign up outside that said: “Dr. Geezer’s clinic.
Get your treatment for $500. If not cured, get back $1,000.”
Doctor 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. Geezer’s clinic.
Dr. Young: “Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please
help me??”
Dr. Geezer: “Nurse, please get 5 drops from the bottle from drawer 12 and
put it 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 the bottle from drawer 12 and put 3
drops in the patient’s mouth.”
Dr. Young: “Oh, no you don’t — that’s gasoline!”
Dr. Geezer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your memory back. That will be
$500.”
Dr. Young (now 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 $1000
back.” (Gives 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 story: Just because you’re “Young” doesn’t mean that you can
outsmart an “old Geezer.”
