Elderly Physician
Jan 19, 2022 14:20:39 #
An elderly physician, Doctor Geezer, became very bored in retirement and decided to re-open his medical clinic.
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 $1000. 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 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, very annoyed, 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's gasoline!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."
Dr. Young, having lost $1,000, 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 $1,000 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 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 piss us off.

Mark, in addition to your reason for not pissing off old people there is another one. The older one gets, the less life in prison is a deterrent.

Couldn’t agree more. Be careful pissing off old people - they have very little left to lose.

I'm 2 weeks from 85! I don't mind being old. I thought I'd die by 40. My Dad died at 41, Mom 49 and brother at 2.5 I love life!!
