Bartenders cost less than shrinks

[jballstate 326]

Ever since I was a child, I've always had a fear of someone under my bed at night. So I went to a Shrink and told him:

'I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody under it. I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy.'

'Just put yourself in my hands for one year,' said the shrink. 'Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears.'

'How much do you charge?'

'Eighty dollars per visit,' replied the doctor.

'I'll sleep on it,' I said.

Six months later the doctor met me on the street. 'Why didn't you come to see me about those fears you were having?' he asked.

'Well, Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money! A bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup!'

'Is that so!' With a bit of an attitude he said, 'and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?'

'He told me to cut the legs off the bed! Ain't nobody under there NOW.

FORGET THE SHRINKS......... HAVE A DRINK & TALK TO A BARTENDER

The patient has completed his course of treatment with the psychiatrist, and they are settling up the bill.

Patient: I'm so happy with what you've done for me that I want to give you a little extra in addition to your fee.

Shrink: I don't know about that, in fact I don't think we should be lying on this couch together.
