Ibo man(from south east Nigeria)engineer can't find a job so he opens a clinic
and puts a sign outside 'GET TREATMENT FOR $20 -
IF NOT CURED GET BACK $100
A lawyer thinks this is a great opportunity to earn $100
and goes to the clinic...
Lawyer: "I have lost my sense of taste"
Iboman: "Nurse, bring medicine from box no. 22 and
put 3 drops in patient's mouth"
Lawyer: "Ugh..this is kerosene"
Iboman: "Congrats, your sense of taste is restored.
Give me $20"
The annoyed lawyer goes back after a few days to
recover his money...
Lawyer: "I have lost my memory. I cannot remember

Lawyer (annoyed): "This is kerosene. You gave this to

Iboman: "Congrats. You got your memory back. Give
me $20"
The fuming lawyer pays him, and then comes back a

take this $100"
Lawyer (staring at the note): "But this is $20, not
$100"
Iboman: "Congrats, your eyesight is restored. Give me
$20".....
