How I overcame my fear of monsters under the bed
Ever since I was a child, I’ve always had a fear of monsters under my bed at night.So I went to a shrink with my problem.
“Doctor Shrink, I’ve got problems. Every night I go to bed I think there’s somebody under it. I’m scared. I think I’m going crazy!”
The shrink said, “Just put yourself in my hands for one year. I’ll schedule you for three sessions a week we should be able to get rid of those fears.”
“How much do you charge?”
“$120 per session,” replied the doctor.
“I’ll sleep on it,” I said.
Six months later I ran into the shrink outside my local bar.
He asked, “Why didn’t you come to see me about those fears you were having?”
“Well, $120 a session three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money — $18,720 to be precise. A bartender cured me for $10! I was so happy to have saved all that money, I bought me a new pickup!”
“
Is that so!,” the shrink said with a bit of an attitude. “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!!!”
