The Tapeworm
A patient walks into a doctors office complaining of abdominal
discomfort. The doc takes a fecal sample and discovers his patient
has a tapeworm. He tells his patient "Don't worry, I have the perfect
treatment. Come in tomorrow with a hard boiled egg and a chocolate
chip cookie." The patient is a little confused, but does as the doctor
orders.
The next morning, the doctor asks his patient to drop his pants and
bend over. Next, he shells the egg and inserts it in the patients rectum.
The doc closely monitors his watch and exactly two minutes later inserts
the cookie as well. He tells the patient to come in tomorrow with another
egg and another cookie.
The next morning, the doctor does the same thing: inserts the egg and
exactly two minutes later inserts the cookie. This goes on for three more
days in exactly the same manner and by this time the patient is really
confused.
Finally, on the fifth day of treatment, the doc says "OK, tomorrow I want
you to come in with another hard boiled egg, but this time bring a hammer
instead of a cookie, ok?"
The next day, the patient comes in and the doc inserts the hard boiled
egg as usual. He closely monitors his watch as two minutes pass...then
three minutes...then four minutes...Suddenly the tapeworm sticks his head
outside and shouts "Where the Hell is my Cookie!!" and the doc hits it over
the head with the hammer, curing his patient.
