Everybody loves a good story. People love good jokes. So when you tell a story that turns out to be a joke, it’s even better!
You know the type. It’s got background, a plot, and it builds and builds until listeners are slapping the table in laughter.
There are jokes of all kinds for different situations.
Here’s a short story for you. It’s hilarious but the best part is the moral of it!
An old geezer, who had been a retired farmer for a long time became very bored and decided to open a medical clinic.
He put a sign up outside that said:
“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 $1,000.
He went to Dr. Geezer’s clinic and this is what happened.
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 gets annoyed and 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.”
Doctor Young: “Oh no you don’t, that’s Gasoline!”
Dr. Geezer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your memory back. That will be $500.”
Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.
Dr. Young: “My eyesight has become weak I can hardly see!”
Dr. Geezer: “Well, I don’t have any medicine for that so. Here’s your $1000 back.”
Dr. Young: “But this is only $500…”
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”.
This one hits hard.
This is a generation bombarded with so much information at the touch of a finger to the point that everyone just wants to be heard and to be right minus the actual listening to others part.
Which means that the elderly are often left behind with the world’s affairs. Not everyone is tech savvy.
Do not make the mistake of underestimating these “old geezers” though. They didn’t have the internet back in the day so they would join the military, work in factories, strip and rebuild cars, and so on.
They were real men and women!
Go ahead and search for photos of men and women from decades back. Now ask yourself if you’d be willing to do the things they did in their day.
Okay enough of that. Grab a few drinks and share that hilarious story with your friends!
Life is hard enough as it is! Lighten up and laugh more!
