Smoking Addiction

"Smoking Addiction"*

*Bob visited his doctor, seeking help for his terrible
addiction to cigars. The doctor was quite familiar with
his very compulsive patient, so recommended an
unusual and quite drastic form of aversion therapy.

"When you go to bed tonight, take one of your cigars,
unwrap it, and sti/ck it completely up your butt. Then
remove it, rewrap it, and place it back with all the others,
in such a fashion as you can't tell which one it is. The
aversion is obvious, you will not dare smoke any of
them, not knowing which is the treated cigar."

"Thanks doc, I will try it." And Bob did. But three weeks
later he came back and saw the doctor again.

"What? My recommendation didn't work? It was
supposed to be effective even in the most addictive
of cases, such as yours is!" answered the doctor.

"Well, it kind of worked, doc. At least I was able to
transfer my addiction," replied the Bob.

"What is that supposed to mean?" demanded the doctor.

"Well, I do not smoke cigars anymore, but now I cannot
go to sleep at night unless I have a cigar shoved up my butt."
