Psychiatrists vs. Bartenders

EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD, I'VE ALWAYS HAD A FEAR OF SOMEONE UNDER MY BED AT NIGHT. SO I WENT TO A SHRINK AND TOLD HIM:

'I've got problems. 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,' said the shrink. '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 per visit,' replied the doctor.

'I'll sleep on it,' I said.

Six months later the doctor met me on the street. 'Why didn't you come to see me about those fears you were having?' he asked.

'Well, Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money! A bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup!'

'Is that so!' With a bit of an attitude he said, 'and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?'

'He told me to cut the legs off the bed! - Ain't nobody under there now!!!'

FORGET THE SHRINKS...

HAVE A DRINK & TALK TO A BARTENDER!

I like the scene in "Crocodile Dundee" where Dundee says if he has a problem, he tells his sidekick Wally, he tells the whole community, and it isn't a problem any more. A similar scene at a party in the same film - where Dundee's response to hearing about a woman in therapy - "ain't she got any mates?" I have been in therapy myself, but I still agree that mates are better, on the whole.

YES Old Dart, Kes-that is SO true. I think because we live so independently we've had to rely on them to do what 'mates' and family and community should do for eachother when we are in need.
