Take Your Medicine

A woman runs into the psychiatrist's office yelling, "Doctor I think I'm a set of curtains!" The doctor said, "pull yourself together!"

A man bursts into a psychiatrist's office, interrupting an important phone call, and screams "Doctor, you've got to help me! I think I'm a deck of cards!" The doctor replied, "I'll deal with you later!"

A kleptomaniac went to see a psychiatrist. He gave her something to take.

(insert your own badum Csh! sound effect and canned laughter)
I think you see the pattern!

These jokes (or feeble attempts at them) are to illustrate how the ridiculous requires the ridiculous. Or as the old saying says, "Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer".

Ok, maybe the last one didn't illustrate that, but I thought it was funny. Anyway…..

As a minister I get this a lot. People mess up their lives and then come to me with questions that have all too painfully obvious answers.

It would be funny, if it wasn't so tragic.

"Preacher my marriage is falling apart!" I feel like answering, "Maybe because you threw it down and stomped on it so many times?"
or
"Preacher I'm at the end of my rope financially" and I fell like answering "Maybe because you have been swinging on it like Tarzan with credit cards and spending sprees?"

You get the idea. I am guilty also, as are all others on Earth.

Maybe , we should go to the Great Physician BEFORE we reach such sad states.

Then we need to take his prescription, no matter how bad the medicine tastes going down.

Gulp!
