Take the motorcycle cop: rushed in for emergency appendicitis surgery, he felt a strange tug across his chest the next morning. Curious, he looked—and found three strips of industrial tape stuck to his hairy chest, with a bold message:
“GET WELL QUICK… FROM THE NURSE YOU GAVE A TICKET TO LAST WEEK.”
Turns out, he’d pulled over a nurse days earlier. Justice had been served—quietly, painfully, and with adhesive.
Then there’s the retired farmer who opened a fake clinic promising $1,000 if patients weren’t cured. A young doctor tried to outsmart him, claiming lost taste, memory, and eyesight. Each time, the old man “treated” him with drops of gasoline and clever tricks—extracting a total of $1,500 in the process.
The lesson? Experience, patience, and a sense of humor beat arrogance every time. Authority, training, or confidence won’t save you if you underestimate the wrong person. Sometimes payback comes in tape. Sometimes in cash. Always with your pride intact.
