To cure a phobia
Canada
George went to a Montreal psychologist.
George:
— I have a big problem. Every time I go to bed, I think there's someone under the bed. I know it's crazy but I'm scared, I can not sleep anymore.
The psychologist:
— I'll fix that. It's enough that you come to see me three times a week for a year. We will discuss it and we should be able to get rid of this obsession.
George:
— How much will it cost?
The psychologist:
— 80 dollars, the visit!
George:
— Phew! Well, I'll think about it.
Six months later, the psychologist meets George on the street.
The psychologist:
— Why did not you come to see me about the fears you had?
George:
— Mhm... Eighty dollars, three times a week and for a year, it was about $12,000. One of my friendscured me for $10 and a beer.
The psychologist:
— Can't believe it !!! May I ask you how he cured you?
George:
— He adviced me to cut the bed's legs.
