Psychiatrist vs. Bartender
A man sitting at a bar after work shares with the bartender why he is looking so stressed,
“I’m not sleeping well. I have nightmares about a monster under my bed and I am too embarrassed to seek help.”
A patron nearby overhears this and introduces himself, “I overheard your story and I am a psychiatrist.
Maybe I can help. The first thing is you recognize these are only dreams, and that is obvious
so I should be able to help you in a few sessions. Here’s my card, give me a call.”
A few weeks pass and the same two are once again at the bar after work. The psychiatrist says to the other bloke,
“Hi, how goes the nightmares? I never heard from you so I hope you are doing okay.”
The other bloke says, “things are great, the bartender helped me.”
Psychiatrist, “the bartender helped you? You needed a trained professional to help you,
what possibly could a bartender do that a psychiatrist couldn’t?”
The other bloke says,
“he told me to saw the legs off my bed.”
