The 10 dollar fix:-)

Here’s a little levity with a lesson for us all…

A guy goes to see a psychiatrist and says he can’t sleep because he has a fear of monsters under his bed. The man realizes it’s an unreasonable and irrational fear, but he can’t seem to shake it.

The doctor says that it will take some time, but once the man realizes the source of his fear, he’ll be able to overcome his fear of the monsters under the bed.

The man asked how long that would take and the doctor says a year or two of two sessions a week. “And how much do you charge for a session?”

“A hundred dollars”, the doctor replied.

“Well, I’ll have to really think about that”, the man said. “That’s a lot of money.” And he never did return to the psychiatrist.

A year or so later, the doctor runs into the man on the street and asked why he never returned to overcome his fear. “Oh, a bartender fixed that for me for $10.”

“How did he do that?” asked the doctor, with some visible skepticism.

“He told me to saw the legs off my bed.” the man replied.
