An Entirely True Excerpt from My Therapy Session Today

by sungo on Jan 22, 2007 3:44 PM CST in Off The Wall

(Go read stampler's midseason review if you haven't already.)

Me: I have never worn a scarf.

The Therapist: Would you like to wear a scarf?

Me: Could you make that happen?

The Therapist: Only if I came riding in on a magic pony.

A Freudian might say you have a Dada Complex. (Damn, I think I'm funny!)

I don't get it. Isn't Dada the guy who put the toilet on the wall and called it art?

No, that was Duchamp you moron. Dadaism does not refer to an artist named Dada. Der. (I still don't get it.)

How very Dada of you to reply to yourself. Or insane. You tell us.

Neither. I don't understand Dadaism well enough to mimic any of its tenets, and I understand myself just well enough to admit my loserdom cannot be explained by insanity.

Dude, I don't get it either. So I think that means we both get it, so long as we immediately stop trying to get it and start snorting derisively into our goatees. (The fact that I don't have a goatee, I think, helps.)

Re: An Entirely True

either your Therapist believes in "My little Pony" or is fucking with your mind, so you have to keep going back to him, over and over, and over again.

Tell him if tries to ride a magic pony you will choke him with your scarf!

Re: An Entirely True Excerpt ...

Me: Could you make that happen?

The Therapist: Only if I came riding in on a magic pony.

You need to elaborate. Was your line said lightheartedly, or more with a thick layer of sarcasm with a touch of "are these the the words of wisdom i'm f**King paying you $200/hr for?!" venom/rage?

What about his? He sounds infinitely cooler than I gave him credit for, btw.

That totally reminded me of the There's something about mary scene, where the psychiatrist snuck in at the end of the session and dropped the gay question to end it, just to fuck with ben stiller.
