A man had been seeing a psychiatrist
for three years in an attempt to cure his fear that there were monsters
lurking under his bed. However all the psychiatrist's efforts were in
vain and the man was no nearer to being cured. Eventually the man
decided that any further sessions were a waste of time and money.
A few weeks later the psychiatrist
bumped into the man in a bar. The man was looking much happier.
"You look well", remarked
the psychiatrist.
"Yes," beamed the man.
" That's because I am cured. After all this time I can finally go
to sleep at night and not worry that there are monsters lurking under my
bed."
The psychiatrist was puzzled.
"How did you manage to get cured? Nothing I tried with you seemed to
work."
"I went to see a different
doctor", explained the man, "He is a behaviorist and he
curd me in one session."
"In one session !"
exclaimed the psychiatrist. "How?"
" It was simple," said
the man, "He told me to saw the legs off my bed."
