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?

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!!!
