Childhood Fears


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 $12,480.00.  A bartender cured me for $10.00.     I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup truck.    

“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!  
IT’S ALWAYS BETTER TO GET A SECOND OPINION!
