An ex-Chinese physician could not find a job after immigrating to Canada since he did not pass the licensing exam. He decided to open a private traditional Chinese medicine clinic with a sign at the front entrance that reads:“GET CURED OF ANYTHING FOR $20! GET $100 IF WE FAIL”. A university student was passing by and decided that this was a good opportunity to make $100, so he decided to give it a try.
University student: I lost my taste
Chinese doctor: Assistant, please bring the remedy from box #5 and place 3 drops on the patient’s tongue
University student: Why would you put gasoline on my tongue?!?
Chinese doctor: Congratulations! Your taste has recovered! Please pay $20.
The unhappy student paid the amount, but returned two days later to try again
University student: I lost my memory. I cannot recall anything
Chinese doctor: Assistant, please bring a remedy from box #5 and place 3 drops on the patient’s tongue
University student: But this is gasoline! You did this to me the last time!
Chinese doctor: Congratulations! Your memory is back! Please pay $20.
The now angry student paid the amount, but returned a week later to try again for the $100.
University Student: My vision is very poor, I cannot see anything!
Chinese doctor: Unfortunately, I do not have any remedy for that. Please take $100.
University Student, looking carefully at the bill: But this is a $20 dollar bill, not $100.
Chinese doctor: Congratulations! Your vision is back! Please pay $20!
