The best medicine

Mental health has been the theme here, there and everywhere these days, right? Since I do truly and sincerely believe in humour being the best therapy, as I mentioned it at the end of my blog yesterday, here are three specimens that would prove the efficacy of my final prescription yesterday.

1) A psychiatry lecture is on. This new lecturer believes in arriving at  a definition the description way. So she says, "this Man is jumping up and down, running hither and thither, beating his chest and brow alternately, screaming his head off, punching in the air. He is...?" From the last benches, offers somebody most helpfully, " a football coach in the final match?" 

2) A doctor, a lawyer and a scientist are discussing about who is better to have, a husband or a lover. "Husband," says the doctor, "because no worries when you get pregnant." "Lover," says the lawyer, "because there are no alimony issues." "Both," says the scientist, " because the husband thinks you are with the lover, the lover thinks you are with the husband, while all along you are enjoying hours after hours of calm and peace, quietly working in the lab."

3) A man has this curious disease whereby he thinks he is a grain of millet. After a lot of therapy, he seems cured. So the psychiatrist takes him to a poultry farm. The patient gets a huge panic attack. So the doctor says, "Why worry? I know that you know that you are a human being." Pat  comes the reply"That is okay. But do the chicken know that?"

Pratima@Intelligent humour is indeed a great cure

Better beware!

 Do you like old Bollywood films? I sure do. They have a few stereotypes though, such as the 'beta who passes B.A. with first class'...
