Two psychiatrists were at a convention. As they conversed over a cup of coffee, one asked, “What was your most difficult case?”

The other replied, “I had a patient who lived in a pure fantasy world. He believed that an uncle in South America was going to die and leave him a fortune. All day long he waited for a letter to arrive from an attorney. He never went out; he never did anything. He merely sat around and waited for this fantasy letter from this fantasy uncle. I worked with this man for eight years. It was an eight-year struggle. Every day for eight years I worked, but I finally cured him, and then that stupid letter arrived!”

Practical purposes

“I think this will be your last visit,” the analyst suggested.

“Does that mean I’m cured?” the patient asked.

“For all practical purposes, yes. I think we can safely say that your kleptomania is under control.”

“That’s terrific, doc. I wish I could do something to repay you for helping me.”

“You’ve paid my fee,” answered the doctor. “That’s payment enough.”

“I know,” insisted the patient, “but isn’t there some personal favor I could do for you?”

“Well,” the doctor hesitated, “I’ll tell you what. If you ever suffer a relapse, my son could use a nice portable color television.”
