So I went to a psychiatrist 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 psychiatrist. “Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears.” “How much do you charge?” “$80 per visit,” replied the doctor. “I’ll sleep on it and if needed I will come back to you,” I said. Six months later the psychiatrist met me on the street. “Why didn’t you come to see me about those fears you were having?” he asked. “Well, $80 a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money! A bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new SUV.” “Is that so!” With a bit of an attitude he said, “and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?” Laughter is the best medicine—they say it can cure what ails you, heal broken hearts, and even bring people together during life’s darkest moments. In a world that can sometimes feel heavy with worry and stress, humor is a beacon of light that reminds us to not take everything so seriously. Whether you’re facing everyday anxieties or need a quick escape from the mundane, a well-timed joke can make all the difference.
