A doctor posts a sign in front of his office:
“If I cure what ails you, $50, If a can’t I’ll pay you $500.”
A lawyer hears about and figures easy money so he visits the doctor and says “Doc, I’ve lost my sense of taste, can you cure me?”
The doctor turns to his nurse and asks her to get what is in the medicine cabinet, drawer 10.
She hands the liquid to the lawyer, he drinks it and immediately spits it out and yells, “that’s gasoline!”
The doctor replies “taste cured, $50 please.
The lawyer stomps out, but returns the next day and tells the doctor, “I’ve lost memory.
The doctor again asks the nurse to get what is in drawer 10 and the lawyer reacts by saying, “no way that’s the same thing you gave me yesterday.”
The doctor tells him matter of factly, “memory cured, that’ll be $50!”
The lawyer leaves livid but determined to get the best of the doctor. He returns two days later and tells the doctor he is blind. The doctor admits he has no cure and says, “I guess I owe you $500.”
He hands the man 5 ones. The lawyer screams at the doctor, “you freaking cheater, these are singles.” The doctor snatches the bills back and replies, “blindness cured, you owe me $50.”
