"Mental Problem"
A psychiatrist is doing rounds in his asylum with
a couple of students. They look in on one patient
and the psychiatrist says to his students,
"Sometimes, this fellow thinks he's a temptress
in a Bizet opera, but today, as you can see from
his goose stepping, he thinks he's the World War II
head of the Nazi Luftwaffe. What condition do you
think he's suffering from?"
The first student replies, "Is he a paranoid
schizophrenic with a multiple personality disorder?"
The second student says, "No, I think he just doesn't
know whether he's Carmen or Goering."

"Buying Brain Food"
A customer at Green's Gourmet Grocery
marveled at the proprietor's quick wit and
intelligence.
"Tell me, Green, what makes you so smart?"
"I wouldn't share my secret with just anyone,"
Green replies, lowering his voice so the other
shoppers won't hear. "But since you're a good
and faithful customer, I'll let you in on my secret:
Fish heads. You eat enough of them, you'll be
positively brilliant."
"You sell them here?" the customer asks.
"Only $4 apiece," says Green.
The customer buys three. A week later, he's
back in the store complaining that the fish heads
were disgusting, and he isn't any smarter.
"You didn't eat enough of them," says Green.
The customer goes home with 20 more fish
heads. Two weeks later, he's back and this time
he's really angry.
"Hey, Green," he says, "you're selling me fish
heads for $4 apiece when I can buy the whole
fish for $2. You're ripping me off!"
"You see?" says Green. "You're smarter already."
