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”
