Therapy Session #2

ME (high-anxiety)

I slept on it last night & what I need…well, what I need is a Bed Buddy for January 19th!

DOC

Anyone in mind?

ME

Brad Pitt!

DOC (writing $$$ in notebook)

Whoa – this is out of my job description!  Let’s go back to your childhood.

ME

My wetting the bed has nothing to do with Trump.

DOC

No – but it may interest your readers!

ME

I’m seeing you so they don’t have to.

DOC

That’s not helping my bottom line now, is it?  You know I have a house, a boat, a Mistress!

ME

Where is she – waiting in the boat?

DOC

None of your damn business – now, your 3rd husband liked what?

ME

Sorry today is it, buddy!

DOC

No, no, no – 8 more sessions & you’ll be cured!

ME

Tell her to get out of the Boat!

DOC

I don’t want to release you yet – look, your hand is shaking.

ME

No, there was gum under my chair & I’m flicking it off!

DOC

What’s your hand doing under my chair?

ME

It wanders.

DOC

These damn Comedy Writers!  Don’t you think I have enough work to do with your Trump thing.

ME

It’s not just me – 1/2 of the country is in a malaise period!

DOC

I can’t eat mayonnaise either.

ME

Where did you say you went to school?

DOC

It was a long time ago – try going ‘cold turkey’ with politics!

ME

You mean forget everything Trump’s ever done in 5 minutes?

DOC

Okay, 10 minutes!  Forget that – try taking a walk.

ME

Thanks – I wish thought of that!  Dig a little deeper, doc.

DOC

Sorry – times up!  Let’s see how I’ve done.  What’s your anxiety level right now?

ME

An eleven.

DOC 

It’s a joke, right?

ME

No, J.D. Vance just said, ‘Right before Christmas, Trump asked him what’s his neck size’!
