第65章 Psychiatrist

Jerry went to a psychiatrist。“Doc”he said,“I have got trouble。Every time I get into bed,I think there is somebody under it。I am going crazy!”

“Just put yourself in my hands for one year”said the doctor。“Come to me three times a week,and I will cure your fears。”

“How much do you charge?”

“A hundred dollars per visit。”

“I will sleep on it”said Jerry。

Six months later the doctor met Jerry on the street。“Why didn’t you ever come to see me again?”asked the psychiatrist。

“For a hundred bucks a visit?The bar tender cured me for10.”

“Is that so?How?”

“He told me to cut the legs off the bed!Ain’t nobody under there now!”

精神病医生

杰瑞去看精神病医生。“医生,”他说,“我有些不对劲。每次睡觉的时候,我都感觉有人在床下。我要疯了!”

“给我一年时间,”医生说,“每周来三次,我会治好你。”

“费用是多少呢?”

“每次一百美元。”

“我会认真考虑的。”杰瑞答道。六个月后医生和杰瑞在街上相遇了,“为什么你再也没来呢?”医生问。

“一次一百块钱吗?有个酒吧服务生收了十块钱就把我治好了。”

“真的?他怎么做到的?”

“他让我把床腿锯掉。现在那没人了!”
