An Old Physician And A Young Physician
An old physician, Dr. Gordon Geezer, became very bored in retirement and decided to re-open a
medical clinic. He put a sign up outside that said: “Dr. Geezer’s clinic. Get your treatment for
£500 – if not cured, I’ll pay you £1,000.” Dr. David Young, who was positive that this old
geezer didn’t know much about modern medicine, thought this would be a great opportunity to get
£1,000. 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 3
drops in Dr. Young’s mouth.” Dr. Young: “Aaagh! — This is petrol!” 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 to try to recover his money. Dr. Young: “I have lost my memory, I
really can’t remember anything.” Dr. Geezer: “Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put
3 drops in the patient’s mouth.” Dr. Young: “Oh, no you don’t – that is petrol again!”
Dr. Geezer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your memory back. That will be £500.” Dr. Young
(having now lost £1000) leaves angrily and plans his revenge after several more days. Dr. Young:
“My eyesight has become very weak — I can hardly see anything!” Dr. Geezer: “Well, I’m
afraid I don’t have any cure for that so here’s your £1000 back” (giving him a £10 note).
Dr. Young: “But this is only £10!” Dr. Geezer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your vision
back! That will be £500!” *** Just because you’re “Young” doesn’t mean that you can
outsmart an “old Geezer”
