His friend said, “Don’t do that There’s a computer at the drug store that can diagnose anything quicker and cheaper than a doctor.

Simply put in a sample of your , and the computer will diagnose your problem and tell you what you can do about and it will only cost you $10.00.”

Pete figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a urine sample and went to the drug store Finding the computer, he poured in the sample and deposited the $10.00.

4-Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo.

5-Your daughter is using .
