"Jar Number 47"

A new miracle doctor had just arrived in town. He
could cure anything and anybody, and everyone was
amazed with what he could do - everyone except for
Mr. Thompson, the town skeptic.

Grumpy old Mr. Thompson went to this 'miracle doctor'
to prove that he wasn't anybody special. He went and
told the doctor, "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 told Mr.. Thompson, "What you need is jar number 47."

So the doctor brought 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
along 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!
