An engineer for what ails you

An engineer decides he wants to make some easy money. He thinks to himself, and he decides he’s going to set up a medical centre in an abandoned corner store. After all, he’s an intelligent man, how hard could it be? He puts a large sign on the front, promising to cure any illness for a $500, and if he can’t, the patient gets $1,000.

A brain surgeon is walking past and sees the sign. Laughing to himself, he decides to make some easy money by faking an illness and pretending to not be cured.

He walks in and tells the engineer, “I’ve got a problem. For some reason, my taste has disappeared.”

The engineer says, “Nurse, bring me bottle number 273!” The nurse appears and hands a solution to the engineer who gives it to the surgeon to drink.

The surgeon spits it out and exclaims: “Hey! This is pee!”

“You’re cured!” says the engineer, “$500 please!”

The next day, the surgeon goes back, wanting to make his money back. He says to the engineer, “For some reason, my memory is failing.”

The engineer says, “nurse, bring me bottle number 273!”

Of course, the surgeon says, “that’s pee! I’m not drinking that!”

“You’re cured! $500 please!” says the engineer.

Finally, the surgeon goes back one last time, determined to make his money back. He tells the engineer that he can’t see a thing. The engineer says, “Alright, I can’t cure blindness. Here’s your money.” He hands the surgeon a twenty dollar bill.

“Hey! You said you’d give $1000!” yelled the surgeon.

The engineer smiled, “You’re cured! $500 please!”
