I've been away for awhile, but I haven't forgotten you folks, and the need for us to keep a sense of humor about mental illness. I did have a shrink-joke thread, but evidently we've all run out of possibilities. So, how about trying a slightly different angle? If you know a new shrink joke, then please share. Or you can tell something humorous that happened with a shrink, albeit it a psychiatrist or therapist.

I'll get the thread started:

The other day I was in my T's office, blabbing away, and I got to a sentence where I was going to say "Between he and ___....." I didn't know what word to use. So, I was debating out loud if I should say "me" or "I." I finally decided on "I."

"That's right," my T said, "because it's the object of a proposition!"

"Don't you mean 'preposition'?" I asked.

"Oh, yeah, preposition," she said. At that her face turned a bit red, and she commented, "Well, I guess THAT was a Freudian slip!"

At any rate, I got a big hoot over it, and I found ways to tease her about it throughout the rest of the session.
