Funny!

Funny story, but almost certainly not true. (sorry to be a wet blanket, but this story has undeserved legs)

I heard about the canon, years ago, when I met a guy that had worked on building and testing the canon. I live only 50 miles from Arnold Engineering, where it was developed.
 
After moving to the U.S., a Chinese doctor struggled to find work in a hospital. So, he opened a small clinic with a clever sign out front:

“Treatment for $20 — If not cured, get $100 back!”

One day, an American lawyer saw the sign and thought, “What a scam… but hey, easy money!” He walked in confidently.

Lawyer: “Doctor, I’ve lost my sense of taste.”

Doctor: “Nurse, bring medicine from Box No. 22. Three drops in his mouth.”

Lawyer: “Bleh! That’s kerosene!”

Doctor: “Congratulations — your taste is back. That’ll be $20.”

Annoyed but determined, the lawyer returned a few days later.

Lawyer: “I’ve lost my memory. I can’t remember anything.”

Doctor: “Nurse, Box No. 22 again. Three drops.”

Lawyer: “Wait! That’s kerosene again!”

Doctor: “Wonderful — your memory’s back! That’ll be $20.”

Now thoroughly frustrated, the lawyer made one last attempt to win.

Lawyer: “My eyesight is failing. I can’t see a thing!”

Doctor: “I’m sorry. I don’t have a cure for that. Here’s your $100.”

The doctor handed him a $20 bill.

Lawyer (squinting): “Hey, wait a minute… this is just $20!

Doctor: “Fantastic! Your eyesight is restored. That’ll be $20.”
