Mary went to see a psychiatrist about her husband Bob (he wouldn’t go with her).
“Doctor, my husband has this problem. Almost every night now, he’s dreaming he’s a refrigerator!”
“My dear, that is not really a problem! A lot of people dream that they are somebody or something unusual…”
Mary leans forward as she softly whispers this confidence, “But you see, doctor, it is also a problem for me! Bob sleeps with his mouth open, and his little light keeps me awake!”
=================================================
The psychiatrist was not expecting the distraught stranger who staggered into his office and slumped into a chair.
“You’ve got to help me. I’m losing my memory, Doctor,” he sobbed. “I once had a successful business, a wife, home and family; I was a respected member of the community. But all that’s gone now. Since my memory began failing, I’ve lost the business – I couldn’t remember my clients’ names. My wife and children have left me, too; and why shouldn’t they – some nights I wouldn’t get home until four or five in the morning. I’d forget where I lived… And it’s getting worse. Doctor, it’s getting worse!”
“This is not an unusual form of neurosis,” the psychiatrist said soothingly. “Now tell me, just how long ago did you first become aware of this condition?”
“Condition?” The man sat up in his chair. “What condition?!?”
=================================================
A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at a large gathering, and his blonde hostess broached a subject of which the doctor was most at ease.
“Doctor, would you mind telling me,” she asked, “how you detect a mental deficiency in someone who appears completely normal?”
“Nothing is easier,” he replied. “You ask a simple question, one which anyone should be able to answer without any problem. If he or she hesitates, that puts you on the track.”
“What sort of question?” asked the hostess.
“Well, you might ask, ‘Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?'” the doctor replied.
The blonde thought for a moment, then said, “You wouldn’t happen to have another example, would you? I’ve never known very much about history!”
