Adapted from The Armenian Weekly:
An elderly physician, Dr. Geezer, became very bored in retirement and decided to re-open his medical clinic. He put up a sign outside that read: "Dr. Geezer's Clinic. Get your treatment for $500---if not cured, get back $1000." Dr. Young, who was positive that Dr. Geezer didn't know beans about medicine, thought that 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 three drops on the patient's tongue."
Dr. Young: "Aaagh!--This is gasoline!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You have your taste back. That will be $500."
Dr. Young, very annoyed, goes back after a couple of days hoping 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 three drops on the patient's tongue."
Dr. Young" "Oh, no you don't---that's gasoline!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You have your memory back. That will be $500."
Dr. Young has lost $1000. He leaves angrily, but he returns several days later.
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 just got your vision back! That will be $500."
