Shrink vs. Bartender
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had trouble sleeping. Finally, I went to see a shrink.
”I've got problems,” I told the doc. "Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody under it. I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy.' '
“Just put yourself in my hands for one year,” he said. “Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears.' '
“How much do you charge?' '
“Eighty dollars a visit.”
”I'll sleep on it.”
Six months later, I ran into the doc at the local watering hole. “Why didn't you come to see me about those fears you were having?” he asked.
“Well,” I said, “Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money. The bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to have saved all that money, I bought myself a new car!' '
“Is that so!” he said, with a bit of an attitude. “And how, may I ask, did the bartender cure you?' '
“He told me to cut the legs off the bed! Ain't nobody under there now!”
