THE MENTAL CASE

THE MENTAL CASE

A patient in a mental hospital was being reviewed for possible release.
When asked what he would do if released, he replied, "I am going to make a
slingshot and come back here and break every damn window in this place."
Obviously, his release was denied.
Six months later, the board was again considering his release and again asked
him the same question. His reply was the same. "I am going to make a slingshot
and come back here and break every damn window in this place"
Again, he was turned down.
Several months later he was complaining to a fellow patient that he could never
seem to get released. The patient asked him what he said when they interviewed him,
and he told him. The patient said, "You will never get released with answers like that.
You have to tell them what they want to hear. Let me give you some advice on how
to answer them when they ask you questions."
So, after considerable coaching, the man felt that he was ready. So when
the board met again, they again asked him what he would do if they let him out.
But this time he was ready. He said, "I am going to get a job, find an apartment
and settle down."
"Good," they said, and then what?"
He said, "I want to meet a nice girl and start dating."
They agreed he was making real progress and asked, "And then what"?
"One night when we are alone in my apartment, I am going to make passionate
love to my girlfriend. I am going to take her dress off, and then take her bra off
and lie her down on the bed."
"Yes?", the board said excitedly.
"Then I am going to gently remove her panties," he continued.
The board members were really getting excited now and asked,
"Then what are you going to do?"
He said, "I am going to take the elastic out of those panties, make myself a slingshot,
come back here and break every damn window in this place!"
