Geezers ...
An old geezer becomes very bored in retirement and decides to open a medical clinic.
He puts up a sign outside that says: “Dr. Geezer’s Clinic. Get your treatment for $500. If not cured, get back $1,000.”
Dr. Young, who is positive this old geezer doesn’t know beans about medicine, thinks this will be a great opportunity to get $1,000. So he goes to Dr. Geezer’s clinic.
Dr. Young says, “Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help me?”
Dr. Geezer says, “Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put three drops in Dr. Young’s mouth.”
“Aaagh!!! cries Dr. Young. “This is gasoline!”
Dr. Geezer says, “Congratulations! You’ve got your taste back. That will be $500.”
This really annoys Dr. Young, so he goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.
Dr. Young says, “I have lost my memory. I cannot remember anything.”
Dr. Geezer says, “Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put three drops in the patient’s mouth.”
Dr. Young says, “Oh, no you don’t. That is gasoline!”
Dr. Geezer says, “Congratulations! You’ve got your memory back. That will be $500.”
Dr. Young, now out $1,000, leaves in a huff, but he comes back after several days.
This time, he tells Dr. Geezer, “My eyesight has become weak. I can hardly see anything.”
Dr. Geezer says, “Well, I don’t have any medicine for that, so here’s your $1,000 back” — as he hands him a $10 bill.
Dr. Young says, “But this is only $10!”
Dr. Geezer says, “Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500.”
