First Ever(?) PtR Dumb Joke Contest
Things are a little glum this week in Spursville and I figure everyone could use a good chuckle. So how about if we post up some of our favorite jokes? I'll start with the first one since it was my idea. (I could post it below to get to the minimum 75 words but I'll just post it in the 1st comment. There, that should be 75 words now.)
If you have any jokes you think are funny, post them below. And if you read one you like. Rec it.

I read this one somewhere and it is not too offensive so here goes:
The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews, and tests were done there were three finalists — two men and one woman. For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. “We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. You have to kill her.”
The first man said, “You can’t be serious. I could never shoot my wife.” The agent replies, “Then you’re not the right man for this job.”
The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the agent came outwith tears in his eyes. “I tried, but I can’t kill my wife.” The agent replies, “You don’t have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.”
Finally, it was the woman’s turn. Only she was told to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, “You guys didn’t tell me the gun was loaded with blanks. I had to beat him to death with the chair!”

Okay Olf, I wasn’t going to do this because you happen to be the coolest Laker fan I know. But since you started off with a woman joke….
Kobe dies and gets to the Pearly Gates, God Himself is there to greet him.
“Welcome my son, because you accomplished so much in your life, MVP, Championship titles, etc, I wanted to be the one to greet you and show you your new home.” God leads Kobe to a rather small house and watches as he looks around.
Down the road was a mansion, painted black and silver with a huge Spurs flag hanging from the balcony.
“God, I don’t want to seem ungrateful but why does Tim Duncan have a bigger house than mine?”
“Oh no son, that’s not Tim’s house, it’s mine.”

See I was right, you are the coolest Laker fan ever!
In fact, I wish I could say if the Spurs don’t make it to the Finals, I’ll pull for the Lakers. But I’m just not as cool as you.
Seriously, I always enjoy your posts, wonderful insight. Who else would think of doing this to lighten the mood around here?
Timmy D .... enough said.
Alright, try this one:
A man was invited to a friend’s home for dinner, where he noticed that his buddy preceded every request to his wife with endearing terms, calling her honey, darling, sweetheart, pumpkin, etc. He was impressed at this, since the couple had been married over 50 years.
While the wife was in the kitchen, he said, “I think it’s wonderful that after all the years, you still call your wife those pet names.”
His buddy shrugged, lowered his voice and said, “To tell you the truth, I forgot her name about 10 years ago.”
The Lakers "Too big, too strong, too long, too good."
Staying with the women jokes huh….
Here’s one -
Two old ladies who had been best friends for over 50 years were playing cards one day.
One looks at the other and says, " Please don’t get mad at me but I can’t for the life of me remember your name."
The other glares back for a few minutes finally saying, " How soon do you need to know?"
Timmy D .... enough said.
Sorry but those are the cleanest ones I can think of. Besides I already used this one:
Q: Why did Ron Artest leave the AT&T Center early?
A: He wanted to beat the crowd.
The Lakers "Too big, too strong, too long, too good."
Hah !
I’ve always felt a little sorry for Ron, man’s not playing with a full deck and I believe he has extra Jokers.
Timmy D .... enough said.
A man was on the phone, and his girlfriend was hearing the conversation:
Guy: " Hello? Heeeeey what’s up dude? No, really? No way, that’s so funny. Yeah yeah, she was at that one party, the one that um…that Brazilian dude, it was at his house. I know! Yeah, can’t believe that. Good times, good times. Alright man, I’ll catch up with your later. Yeah, we should do Starbucks. Alright, hahaha, yeah. See ya dude."
Girlfriend:" What was that all about honey?"
Guy:" His niece was murdered".

A Nuggets fan, Lakers fan and Spurs fan stumble onto a magic lamp, release the genie, and are each granted one wish.
Nuggets fan: "Make all of Colorado’s farmland rich and fertile, yielding bounteous crops every year."
Genie: "Granted."
Lakers fan: "We’ve got to keep all of these fans of these lowly teams out of our fair state. Make us an impenetrable wall a mile high all the way around the state line."
Genie: "Granted."
Spurs fan: "You can you really do that?"
Genie: "Certainly."
Spurs fan: "And it’s done already?"
Genie: "In place."
Spurs fan: "Nothing can get in or out?"
Genie: "Nothing."
Spurs fan: "Fill it with water."

Three men walk into a pub. Rubbing their foreheads, they sit down at the bar. These three men all work for breweries: one from Budweiser, one from Miller, and the third from Guinness. They convene every couple of months to talk shop and trade stories.
The Bud man gets the bartender’s attention and proudly says, "I’ll have a Budweiser, the king of beers!" The Miller man, not to be outdone, says, "I’ll have a Miller Lite, best American-style light lager in the world!" The bartender gets to the Guinness man and asks him for his order. "Oh, I’ll just have a Coke." His comrades look at him with shock. "Aren’t you going to order a Guinness?" they ask.
The Guinness man replies, "Well, if you two aren’t drinking, then neither am I."

How about this—I’ll give you the punchlines, y’all see if you can provide the joke in the comments. NESTED comments (just for you, LD).
1. “A pig like that—well, you don’t eat him all at once.”
2. “You idiot! It’s Eduard Shevardnadze!”
3. “All right, you can come in. Just don’t start anything!”
4. “Is there anyone ELSE up there?”
5. “Make me one with everything.”

Okay, they are as follows:
1. (This is probably the best known of the lot)
A fellow runs out of gas while driving through the countryside, so he walks down the road to a farm to ask for help. While he’s shooting the breeze with the farmer, he notices a pig with a wooden leg. “So what’s the deal with the pig?” he asks the farmer.
Replies the farmer, “That there is an amazing pig. One hell of a pig. Do you know, that pig made me enough money to buy this new tractor? Turns out it can root out truffles. I make a fortune off selling those truffles.”
“Nice” said the man. “But what does that have to do with the wooden leg?”
“Well, I’ll tell you,” the farmer replied. “But really, I want you to understand—this is a truly amazing pig. Famous, even. This pig saved the lives of my children. The farmhouse caught fire last spring, and believe it or not, that pig woke up the whole house and we escaped unharmed. That pig . . . that pig saved my babies.”
The farmer dabbed at his eyes with a hanky, and the man gazed at the pig, suitably impressed.
“So the pig was injured in the fire?”
“Aw, no, nothing like that.”
“So why the wooden leg?”
The farmer blew his nose briskly and stuffed his hanky back in his pocket. "A pig like that—well, you don’t eat him all at once."

2. (An oldie but a goodie from Bush the Elder’s administration)
President Bush was visiting Soviet Prime Minister Mikhail Gorbachev in Moscow.
"How do you get such crafty, smart people working for you?" Bush asked.
"I always first put them through a simple test," Gorbachev said. "Here, let me show you."
He summoned to his office his foreign minister, Eduard Shevardnadze.
"Eduard," he said. "Your parents have a child. Yet that child is not a brother to you, nor a sister to you. Who is that child?"
"It is I," Shevardnaze answered quickly.
"You see?" said Gorbachev.
Intrigued and wondering about the quality of his own lieutenants, upon his return to Washington Bush summoned vice president Dan Quayle to the Oval Office.
"Dan," he began. "Your parents have a child. Yet that child is not a brother to you, nor a sister to you. Who is it?"
Quayle pondered for several minutes, shook his head and said. "I have no idea. I give up."
President Bush could not hide his disappointment. "You idiot! It’s Eduard Shevardnadze!"

3. (punny)
Guy tries to go into an upscale nightclub, but the bouncer tells him a necktie is required for admission. The man goes out to his car and looks around for a tie and can’t find one, but he sees a set of jumper cables in the trunk. In desperation he ties the cables around his neck, managing to make an acceptable-looking knot, and lets the ends dangle free. Hopefully and a bit sheepishly he again approaches the entrance to the nightclub. The bouncer looks him over carefully and says, "All right, you can come in. Just don’t start anything!"

4. A man is walking along the edge of a cliff when he slips and plummets toward jagged rocks and crashing surf, barely saving himself by clinging to the cliff’s face. But he is unable to pull himself to safety and his hands are slipping, so he shouts, “Is anyone up there?” A voice fills the sky — God’s voice — saying: “Have faith and pray. If you have sufficient faith and pray well, you can let go and land gently, unhurt, amid the rocks and surf.”
The man ponders this promise, then shouts: “Is there anyone ELSE up there?”

OK, I just added the word “Dumb” to the title. No reflection on previous posts. I did it so I could post jokes like:
Q: Why does Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella?
A: Fo’ drizzle.
The Lakers "Too big, too strong, too long, too good."
Hey, that makes me wonder if this old preschool – thru – 1st grade classic is as popular on the playgrounds of Texas as it is in So Cal:
Boys go to college to get more knowledge
Girls go to Jupiter to get more stupider
The Lakers "Too big, too strong, too long, too good."
Yup. Heard that one. As well as this playground gem:
We want a batter, not a broken ladder!
We want a pitcher, not a belly itcher!

An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again. The boy asked his father, "What is this, Father?" The father responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life – I don’t know what it is."
While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed an old lady in a wheelchair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched small circles of lights with numbers above the walls light up. They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls opened up again and a beautiful 24-year-old woman stepped out.
The father said to his son, "Go get your mother."

Did y’all hear about the Lakers fan who was found dead in his jail cell with 12 bumps on his head?
He tried to hang himself with a rubber band.
Saw this one on Reader’s Digest—I’ve made it more Spurs centric, but credit the creater Herman M. below. "It was the first day of basketball practice at the Spurs practice facility for training camp, Coach Pop handed a ball to each player. “Fellas,” he said, “I want you to practice shooting from the spots you might expect to be in during the game.”
Ian Mahinmi immediately sat down on the bench and began arcing the ball toward the basket. — Herman L. Masin

A priest and a rabbi were sitting next to each other on an airplane. After a while, the priest turned to the rabbi and asked, ‘Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?’
The rabbi responded, ‘Yes, that is still one of our laws.’
The priest then asked, ‘Have you ever eaten pork?’
To which the rabbi replied, ‘Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich.’ The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.
A while later, the rabbi spoke up and asked the priest, ‘Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?’
The priest replied, ‘Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith.’
The rabbi then asked him, ‘Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?’
The priest replied, ‘Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke my Faith.’
The rabbi nodded understandingly and remained silent, thinking, for about five minutes. Finally, the rabbi said, ‘Beats the heck out of a ham sandwich, doesn’t it?’

Barbara Walters did a story on gender roles in Kabul, Afghanistan several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that women customarily walked five paces behind their husbands.
She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands. Despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem to, and are happy to, maintain the old custom.
Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, ‘Why do you now seem happy with an old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?’
The woman turned to Ms. Walters, and without hesitation said, ‘Land Mines.’

Q: What’s the most successful pickup line ever?
A: “Does this smell like chloroform?”
The Lakers "Too big, too strong, too long, too good."
A pastor was making his routine visit to a local nursing home and went into the room of an elderly woman named Ida, whom he’d become friends with. As he was sitting there talking with Ida and hearing his stomach growl, he noticed a jar of peanuts on her dresser.
Pointing to the jar he asked, "Ida, do you mind?". "Not at all", replied Ida.
After several minutes of discussion and prayer, the pastor stood up to leave and realized he had emptied the jar.
"Ida, I’m afraid I’ve eaten all your peanuts while we were talking", said the pastor.
"That’s okay", said Ida. "With my false teeth, all I can do is suck the chocolate off of them and put them back in the jar!"

Okay, another bar joke…
A string walks into a bar. The bartender looks at him and tells him, "We don’t serve strings in here." The string walks out of the bar and ties knots all up and down himself, and frays his ends. He then walks back in and sits up to the bar. The bartender asks, "Aren’t you that string that was in here before?"
"Nope, I’m afraid not."
Bubba goes to the tent revival and listens to the preacher. After a while, the preacher asks for anyone with needs to come forward and be prayed over. Bubba slowly rises from his chair and gets in line.
When it’s his turn the preacher asks, "Bubba, what do you want me to pray about?"
Bubba says, "Preacher, I need you to pray for my hearing."
So the preacher puts his right finger in Bubba’s right ear and his left hand on top of his head and prays a while. Then the preacher puts his left finger in Bubba’s left ear and his right hand on top of his head and prays some more.
After a few minutes, the preacher removes his hands and says, "Bubba, how’s your hearing now?"
Bubba says, "I don’t know, preacher – it’s not until next Wednesday."

Last one for today…
Bob was in trouble – he’d forgotten his wedding anniversary and his wife was extremely upset. She told him, "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in six seconds!"
The next morning Bob got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough, there was a gift-wrapped box in the middle of the driveway.
Confused, she put on her robe, ran out to the driveway, and brought the box back in the house.
She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Bob has been missing ever since…

THE HAIRCUT
One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies, "I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week." The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning there is a ‘Thank you’ card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and afterward when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, "I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week." The cop is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop there is a ‘Thank you’ card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Later that day, a college professor comes in for a haircut, and afterward when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, "I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week." The professor is very happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber opens his shop, there is a ‘Thank you’ card and several different books, such as "How to Improve Your Business" and "Becoming More Successful."
Then, a Congressman comes in for a haircut, and afterward when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies, "I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week." The Congressman is very happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, there are a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.
That’s a good one. Reminds me of:
If “pro” is the opposite of “con” — does that make Progress the opposite of Congress.

::Hoping that olf has already retired for the night…::
Five people are on a plane. The pilot, a woman, a man and his son, and a Laker fan who considers himself to be the smartest man in the world. The plane’s engines have all failed, but they find out that there are only four parachutes on board. The pilot says "I’m the pilot, so I should be able to go." He then grabs a parachute and jumps out of the plane. The woman does the same thing, taking the second parachute. The Laker fan then grabs (what he thinks is) the third parachute and jumps out. This leaves only the man and his son, and the father doesn’t know what to do, but his son tells him "Dad, don’t worry. The smartest man in the world just grabbed my backpack."
A new missionary went to Venezuela for the first time. He was struggling with the language and didn’t understand a whole lot of what was going on. When he visited a local church for the first time, he arrived late, and the church was already packed. Therefore, he had to sit in the first row.
So as not to make a fool of himself, he decided to imitate the man sitting next to him. As they sang, the man clapped his hands, so the new missionary clapped, too. When the man stood up to pray, the missionary also stood up. When the man sat down, he sat down. During the preaching, the missionary didn’t understand a thing. He just sat there and tried to look just like that man in the front pew.
Then he perceived that the pastor was giving announcements. People clapped, so he looked to see if the man was clapping. He was, and so the missionary also clapped. Then the pastor said some words that he didn’t understand, and he saw the man next to him stand up. So he stood up, too. Suddenly a hush fell over the entire congregation. A few people gasped. The missionary looked around and saw that nobody else was standing, so he sat down.
After the service ended, the pastor stood at the door shaking the hands of people as they were leaving. When the missionary stretched out his hand to greet the pastor, the pastor said (in English), "I take it that you don’t speak Spanish." The missionary replied, "No, I don’t. Is it that obvious?" "Well, yes", said the pastor. "I announced that the Acosta family had a newborn baby and would the proud father please stand up."
A husband and wife go to a therapist for counseling. When asked what the problem is, the wife goes into a passionate, painful tirade, listing every problem they had ever had in the 20 years they had been married.
She goes on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable – an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of their marriage.
Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist gets up, walks around the desk, and after asking the wife to stand, he embraces her and gives her a long passionate kiss as her husband watches with a raised eyebrow. The woman shuts up and quietly sits down as though in a daze.
The therapist turns to the husband and says, "This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?"
The husband thinks for a moment, then replies, "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish."

Three people, a Cavalierss fan, a Nuggets fan , and a Lakers fan went on a hunting trip.
The first night, the Cavs guy comes back to their cabin with a big deer. The others ask him how he did it, and he cooly replies: “I saw the tracks, I followed the tracks, and bang! I got the deer!”
The next night, the Denver fancomes back, also with a big deer. “I saw the tracks, I followed the tracks, and bang! I got the deer!” was the Nuggets guy’s story.
So the Lakers fan decides to try it himself. But the next night, as he drags himself back to the cabin, his two companions find him bruised and bloody all over. “What happened?” they ask? “Well,” replies the Lakers guy, “I saw the tracks, I followed the tracks, and bang! A train hit me.”

There once was a woman in Spain who had to give up her identical twin boys for adoption. One was given to an Arabic family and named Amal. The younger was taken by a Spanish family and named Juan. Years later, Juan made contact with his mother and sent her a picture. She was sad because she wanted to hear from the older son. Her husband asked why she was crying. She told him she wanted to see the other son. He replied, "They’re identical twins, right? If you’ve seen Juan you’ve seen Amal."

4Him, has clearly been dominating this joke thread. Here’s one more.
A guy, who loved his cat, was leaving town for a week of meetings. So, he called his brother and asked him to watch his cat. He could not express enough to his brother how important the cat was to him. The brother knowingly agreed to watch the cat while his brother left town.
The guy arrives at his destination and goes through his meetings. A few days later he calls his brother to check in. “How’s the cat” he asked. The brother told him that the cat had gotten on the roof and had fallen off and died. The guy was furious! He got very mad his brother for not taking better care of the cat, he cursed his brother and yelled and finally slammed the phone down and stormed off.
After several hours the guy had calmed down. He called his brother and apologized. He told him that next time to let him down slowly. “Maybe tell me that the cat is on the roof, but the fire department is coming to get him down. Then the next day tell me that there was an accident, but the vet has the cat in surgery and he might make it. Then the next day let me know that the cat didn’t make, but you did all you could.” he said. So the brother agreed to do better with bad news. So the guy sighs, and asks his brother, “So, how is mom doing?”
The brother replies, “She’s on the roof.”

A man, visiting San Francisco, noticed a musty curio shop, which seemed to have been forgotten by time. It seemed very out of place in the busy city. The man’s curiosity was piqued, and he entered the shop. The store didn’t seem to have much traffic, and the shelves were full of dusty, but interesting items. The man found himself strangely interested in a rather ugly brass rat on a shelf behind the counter. Ugly it was, but he had never seen anything like it – it was so incredibly detailed, and life-like. He asked the shopkeeper for a price.
The man was pleased to learn that he could acquire the rat for only $5, and he handed the shopkeeper the money. But, before giving the man the rat, the shopkeeper sternly warned him, “This sale is final. If you leave the shop with the brass rat, I won’t take it back under any circumstances.”
The man thought the warning was curious, given that the rat only cost $5. Even if he decided that he hated the rat, it was hardly an amount worth worrying about. He agreed to the shopkeeper’s terms, and left with the rat.
At first, everything seemed perfectly normal. But as he walked back toward his car, the man started to hear strange rustling noises around him. Then he saw a live rat scurry out of an alley, and start to follow him. Suddenly, rats seemed to be appearing all around him, streaming out of sewers and dumpsters, all following him and milling about his feet.
The man began to run, but the rats kept up in increasing numbers. The man realized that he was being chased by literally tens of thousands of rats. The ground came alive, as the rats swarmed behind him.
The man suddenly realized the significance of the shopkeeper’s warning, and knew what he had to do. He turned toward the bay, and ran as quickly as he could toward the water. When he reached the waterfront, he threw the brass rat as far as he could into the bay. The rats raced past him, following the brass rat into the water, where they drowned.
The man returned to the curio shop, and upon seeing him enter the shopkeeper shouted, “I told you, no refunds. I don’t want trouble here. The sale was final, and you can’t return the merchandise.”
The man smiled, and replied, “Oh, I don’t want to return the brass rat. I just want to know – do you have a brass Lakers fan in stock?”

Manu wants Kobe pajamas for his birthday.
There, fixed it for you.

Awww, keeping your love of Manu secret must wear on you, huh?

Oh pa-leeez! Kobe Bryant schools Manu Ginobili
They trimmed the video too early. If I wasn’t so lazy I’d upload the part right after the shot where Doug Collins exclaims “Oh My. Guard That!”
The Lakers "Too big, too strong, too long, too good."

Oh-oh somebody call the waaaaaambulance. Suns fans are whining about the refs again. Oops, I meant to say Spurs fans. Now what was the difference again?
Btw, I never said Spurs fans don’t have class. Unlike Suns fans, they will at least wait until Duncan retires before 50% of the AT&T Center chants “KOBE!, KOBE!, KOBE!” as he steps the the free throw line. The sad truth is it is just a matter of time.
(Man I spent last night organizing my taxes while watching the Cavs, Celts & Nuggs. Evidently it has put me in a mood.)
The Lakers "Too big, too strong, too long, too good."
No need to pull the “waaaambulance” line on us. None of us are saying that Bryant’s points from that play should be disallowed.
If you don’t like our reaction, maybe you should just try picking a clip of your guy putting a good move on our guy while actually following the rules.
Or maybe you could just use the completely unintentional one instead.
Rest the Croissant!
Yeah, that one’s kinda brutal. Let’s start the playoffs already man. I’m ready to talk some trash.
PS. And sorry for calling you guys Suns fans. That was too low.
The Lakers "Too big, too strong, too long, too good."
I knew you’d be properly ashamed before too long. And judging from the fact that no one else jumped to defend ourselves, the rest of us did too.
Rest the Croissant!
was it a travel? yes, but I’m not expecting the refs to call that one, so I wasn’t upset about those points. My favorite part about the video is the score.
GTFOML!

an all time bad one
a blind man walks into a drug store and starts knocking stuff off the shelves with his cane. the drug store worker comes up to him and says “can i help you sir?” the blind man replies “no thanks, i’m just looking.”
During a game, Artest was trash-talking Bowen, “You’re defense is an overrated piece of shit. You can’t do anything else on the court besides kicking true basketball players smokin’ your sorry little dinkie.” Artest continued blabbering until Bowen retorts, “Dude, if I want to hear from an asshole, I’d fart.”

Two guys were in a bar, and they were both watching the television when the news came on. It showed a guy on a bridge who was about to jump, obviously suicidal. “I’ll bet you $10 he’ll jump,” said the first guy. “Bet you $10 he won’t,” said the second guy.
Then, the guy on the television closed his eyes and threw himself off the bridge. The second guy hands the first guy the money.
“I can’t take your money,” said the first guy. “I cheated you. The same story was on the five o’clock news.” “No, no. Take it,” said the second guy. “I saw the five o’clock news too. I just didn’t think the guy was dumb enough to jump again!”

The psychology instructor had just finished a lecture on mental health and was giving an oral test.
Speaking specifically about manic depression, she asked, “How would you diagnose a patient who walks back and forth screaming at the top of his lungs one minute, then sits in a chair weeping uncontrollably the next?”
A young man in the rear raised his hand and answered, “A basketball coach?”
