WALMART SUPER COMPUTER (humour)

[color=white]One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him, "My
elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor."

"Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies.

"There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal*Mart. Just give it a urine sample
and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.

It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars . . . A lot cheaper than a
doctor."

So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Wal*Mart.

He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the urine
sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits.

Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:

"You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy
activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping at Wal*Mart."


That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began
wondering if the computer could be fooled.

He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his
wife and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure.

Joe hurries back to Wal*Mart, eager to check the results. He deposits ten
dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.

The computer prints the following:

1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)
2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7)
3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
5. If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better!

Thank you for shopping at Wal*Mart [/color]

Any place where walmart isn't infesting = heaven. I like USA otherwise. Although Canada seems pretty chill...

They do, our money are offcourse used for stuff like healthcare, colleges, roads aso. But i wiuld love to se more things payed when used for and not forced over the taxes, 48% income tax sucks But it's not only high income tax, we have alot of fees on alot of stuff like, gasoline, cars (oh god i hate when i see shows like top gear and they mention prices, and I know the price home here, is aleast double of that), medicine, alcohol, dvd recordable medias aso.

Denmark is great country, but the taxes/fees are bit to crazy, whish also scares a lot of good foreign labour, like professors, doctors, soccer players aso.

the walmart super stores are your general convience store, complete gorcer along with clothing, toys, auto products, limited electronics, jewlery, pets, gardening, etc. in general, the super centers are pretty nice.

the regular old walmarts though suck ass in the worst possible ways.
the stores them self suck ass, everything is beat to hell and thrown all over the place, its normly the local welfare, red neck, bum, gang hang out location.

i actually just had to go to wal mart this afternoon, bastards are the only place in the city that sells a certain brand of oil by the quart.... anyways, when i was there i think i saw every stereotype there, except for the bum.
