JOKES
Hello, Welcome to the Psychiatric Hotline:
If you are obsessive-compulsive, please press 1 several times.
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 have a nervous disorder, please fidget with the # key until a representative comes on the line.
If you are depressed, it doesn't matter which number you press. No one will answer.
Sanity Test
A noted psychiatrist was a guest at a party. His hostess naturally talked on the subject of psychiatry.
"Would you mind telling me, Doctor", she asked, "how you detect whether or not an individual is mentally challenged who appears to be completely normal?"
"Nothing is easier," he replied. "You ask them a simple question which everyone should answer with no trouble. If they hesitate, that helps you." "What sort of question?"
"Well, you might ask them, "Captain Cook made three trips around the
world and died during one of them. Which one?"
The woman thought a moment, then said with a nervous laugh, "Do you have another example, would you? I am sorry, I don't know much about history."
Crazy or Insightful?
Once I had multiple personalities, but now we are feeling well.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it every minute.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
The best thing about being schizophrenic is that I'm never alone.
I've always been a hypochondriac. As a little boy, I'd eat M&M's one by one with a glass of water.
INTERESTING FACTS
