Make that call!
Hello, Welcome to the Psychiatric Hotline. If you are obsessive-compulsive, please press 1 repeatedly.
If you are co-dependent, please ask someone to press 2.
If
you have multiple personalities, please press 3, 4, 5 and 6.
If you are paranoid-delusional, we know who you are and what you want.
Just stay on the line so we can trace the call. If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a little voice will
tell you which number to press.
If you are depressed, it doesn't matter which number you press. No
one will answer.
Two
men are escaping from a Mental Hospital late one moonless night. They
get to the roof of the hospital and all they have to do is jump a
pretty good distance across to the next building and they are home
free.
The first man, a psychotic and afraid of nothing, is willing jump.
The second man, however, is afraid of the dark, and is seriously considering
returning to the hospital to deal with the issue.
The first man volunteers to jump across with the flashlight they have
brought with them, and then shine the light back across to the second
man.
"You can walk across on the beam of light and we will be away."
"You must be crazy," replies the second man, "you'll
turn the flashlight off when I'm halfway across, and I'll fall!"
