"On The Couch"
A guy had been feeling down for so long that he
finally decided to seek the aid of a psychiatrist.
He went there, lay on the couch, spilled his
guts then waited for the profound wisdom of
the psychiatrist to make him feel better.
The psychiatrist asked me a few questions,
took some notes then sat thinking in silence
for a few minutes with a puzzled look on his face.
Suddenly, he looked up with an expression of
delight and said, "Um, I think your problem is low
self-esteem. It is very common among losers."

"Scientific Proof"
Perhaps you've heard of the man who thought he
was dead, when in reality he was very much alive.
His delusion became such a problem that his family
finally paid for him to see a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist
spent many laborious sessions trying to convince the
man he was still alive. Nothing seemed to work. Finally,
the doctor tried one last approach. He took out his
medical books and proceeded to show the patient
that dead men don't bleed.
After hours of tedious study, the patient seemed
convinced that dead men don't bleed. "Do you now
agree that dead men don't bleed?" the doctor asked.
"Yes, I do," the patient replied. "Very well, then," the
doctor said. He took out a pin and pricked the patient's
finger. Out came a trickle of blood. The doctor asked,
"What does that tell you?"
"Oh, my goodness!" the patient exclaimed as he
stared incredulously at his finger. "Dead men do
bleed!!"
