Jerry’s Jottings

0

Preparations are being made for the big Fourth of July holiday weekend, the turning point of the summer is in front of us Jerry's Jottingsby a few days. Last Monday, the twentieth  was the Summer Solstice and the beginning of Summer. It also starts the decline in the number of those precious minutes of daylight. A few of those minutes have already disappeared with no notice. Although Summer runs until September 22, it will lose some of its appeal by the start of September. I, personally, like the fall better with its reasonable temperature and pending rush of the chill in the mornings. September brings the start of school and with it, a sense of order that regulates the days. But we are now dealing with the great summer celebration. Enjoy it.

An Engineer was unemployed for a long time. He could not find a job so he opened a medical clinic and puts a sign up outside: “Get your treatment for $500, if not treated get back $1,000.”

One Doctor thinks this is a good opportunity to earn $1,000 and goes to his clinic.

Doctor: “I have lost taste in my mouth.”

Engineer: “Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient’s mouth.”

Doctor: “This is Gasoline!”

Engineer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your taste back. That will be $500.”

The Doctor gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days later to recover his money.

Doctor: “I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything.”

Engineer: “Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient’s mouth.”

Doctor: “But that is Gasoline!”

Engineer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your memory back. That will be $500.”

The Doctor leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.

Doctor: “My eyesight has become weak.”

Engineer: “Well, I don’t have any medicine for this. Take this $1,000.”

Doctor: “But this is $500…”

Engineer: “Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500.”
