    Psychologist v Bartender

    Ever since I was a child, I've always had a fear of someone under my bed at night.
    So I went to a shrink and told him:
    “I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody under it. I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy.”
    "Just put yourself in my hands for one year," said the shrink.
    "Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears.”
    “How much do you charge?”

    “One hundred fifty dollars per visit,” replied the doctor.

    “I'll sleep on it,” I said.

    Six months later the doctor met me on the street.
    “Why didn't you come to see me about those fears you were having?” He asked.
    “Well, $150 a visit, three times a week for a year, is $23,400.00. A bartender cured me for $10.00.
    I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought a new pickup truck.”
    “Is that so?” With a bit of an attitude he said, “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.”

    It's always better to get a second opinion.
