Not Like I Did Anything

 




They say that laziness is really just resting before you get tired.

Did you hear about the lazy engineer who was fired from his engineering job so he opened a medical clinic?  He put a sign above his door that said, "Any ailment cured for $500 or we pay you $1,000."

One day, the director of a competing clinic decides to expose the engineer as a charlatan and pays him a visit. 

Director: "I've lost my sense of taste"
Engineer: "Nurse, put 3 drops from that pink vial on the patient's tongue."
Director: "This is gasoline!"
Engineer: "Congratulations!  Your taste has been restored!  That'll be $500."

A few days later, the director comes back and tries again, this time claiming that he has memory loss.

Engineer: "Nurse, put 3 drops from that pink vial on the patient's tongue."
Director: "But that's gasoline!"
Engineer: "Congratulations!  Your memory loss has been cured!  That'll be $500."

The director returns again several days later determined to get his money back.  "I've lost my vision," he says.
Engineer: "I've got no medicine for that, so here's your $1,000," and he hands the director a one dollar bill.
Director: "But this is only $1!"
Engineer: "Congratulations! Your vision is back! That'll be $500."
