Humor: The Most Difficult Case
Mark 10:46-52

Two psychiatrists were talking, and one asked the other, "What was your most difficult case?"

His colleague answered, "Once I had a patient who lived in a pure fantasy world. He believed that a wildly rich uncle in South America was going to leave him a fortune. All day long he waited for a make-believe letter to arrive from a fictitious attorney. He never went out or did anything. He just sat around and waited."

"What was the result?" asked the first psychiatrist.

"Well, it was an eight-year struggle, but I finally cured him. And then that stupid letter arrived."

Some people are afraid to open their eyes. And some just keep their eyes closed no matter what.
