A new miracle doctor had just arrived in town. He could
cure anything and anybody. Everyone was amazed with what
he could do except for Mr. Thompson, the town
skeptic, who didn't believe a thing.

Grumpy old Mr. Thompson went to this 'miracle doctor' to
prove he wasn't anybody special. "Hey, doc, I have lost my
sense of taste. I can't taste nothin.' So what are ya goin'
to do?"

The doctor scratched his head and mumbled to himself a
little. Then he told Mr. Thompson, "What you need is jar
number 47."

So the doctor retrieved the jar and told Mr. Thompson to
taste it.

He tasted it and immediately spit it out, "This is gross!"
he yelled.

"I just restored your sense of taste Mr. Thompson," said the
doctor.

So Mr. Thompson went home very mad.

One month later, Mr. Thompson went back to the doctor with a
new problem. "Doc," he started, "I can't remember anything!"

Thinking he had the doctor stumped now, he waited as the
doctor scratched his head, mumbled to himself a little, and
told Mr. Thompson, "What you need is jar number 47..."

Immediately Mr. Thompson was cured and fled the room!
