A
psychiatrist said to his patient, “Mr. Patient, I understand
that you have a problem. Your problem is that you always contradict
whatever other people say or do, right?” And Mr. Patient said,
“No, that’s not right.” So the psychiatrist said,
“OK! Then I must be mistaken, eh?” And the patient replied,
“No! No! You’re not!” And the psychiatrist said,
“Oh, oh, oh, I got it. I got it. You’re contradicting
everything I say.” And the patient said, “No, you’re
being ridiculous! You’re crazy!” So the psychiatrist said,
“I see, I see. Then you’re perfectly sane, right? You’re
not crazy, right?” And the patient said, “No. No. I’m
crazy as a loon.” Then the psychiatrist said, “Oh, yeah,
now we’re making some progress here!”
