The Better Cure
Posted: Sun Mar 30, 2014 2:36 amA man stopped in at a psychiatrist's office, "I've had a bad problem most of my life. I'm scared every time I go to bed that someone is under the bed. It's difficult to sleep... I'm really going crazy."
"I can set you up for three visits a week," the doctor informed, "We should have you cured within a year."
"Oh... well, how much do you charge?"
"Eighty dollars per visit," replied the doctor.
"Well, I'll think on it," the man responded.
When they met on the street six months later, the doctor inquired, "Why didn't you see me about your problem?"
"Your charge would have been over $12,000 dollars," said the man, "For a ten-dollar tab, a bartender gave me a cure for free."
"Really!" the doctor snapped back, "And how did the bartender cure you!"
"He told me to cut the legs off the bed -- no one's under it now."
