CLINICAL HUMOR

Opposites

    Three aspiring psychiatrists were attending their first class on emotional extremes. "Just to establish some parameters, " said the professor, to the student from Arkansas, "What is the opposite of joy?"

    "Sadness," said the student.

    "And the opposite of depression?" he asked of the young lady from Oklahoma.

    "Elation," she said.

    "And you sir," he said to the young man from Texas, "How about the opposite of woe?"

    The Texan replied, "Sir, I believe that would be giddy up."

Silent and Odorless

    A guy walks into the doctor's office and says, "Doctor, you've got to help me. I pass gas HUNDREDS of times a day."

    He tells the doctor that it's silent and odorless. Then he says, "Doctor, you won't believe this but I've passed gas ten times while we've been talking."

    So the doctor gives him some pills, "Here, take two of these every day and come see me in two weeks."

    The guy comes back in one week complaining, Doctor, what's in these pills? I still have the gas, it's still silent, but now it smells absolutely TERRIBLE!"

    The doctor says, "Well that takes care of your sinus problem, now let's work on your hearing."
