A man walked into the office of the eminent psychiatrist Dr. Heidberg, and sat down to explain his problem. "Doctor, doctor! Ive got this problem," the man said. "I keep hallucinating that Im a dog. Its crazy. I dont know what to do!"
"A common canine complex," said the doctor soothingly. "Relax. Come here and lie down on the couch."
"Oh no, Doctor," the man said nervously, "Im not allowed up on the furniture."

A group of doctors were at a convention in Switzerland. The topic of discussion was the new medical technology from their countries.
In my country, a German doctor said, medicine is so advanced, we can perform heart surgery on a person on Monday, and have him back to work in 2 weeks.
Thats nothing, a Japanese doctor said. We can perform an appendectomy on a person on Tuesday, and have him back in work by Saturday.
Thats nothing! said an American doctor. We can take an asshole from Arkansas, put him in the White House and half the country is out of work the next day!
Jimmy received a parrot for Christmas. The parrot was fully grown, with a very bad attitude and worse vocabulary.
Every other word was an expletive; those that werent expletives were, to say the least, rude. Jimmy tried to change the birds attitude by constantly saying polite words, playing soft music… anything he could think of. Nothing worked.
He yelled at the bird, and the bird got worse. He shook the bird, and the bird got madder and more rude.
Finally, in a moment of desperation, Jimmy put the parrot in the freezer. For a few moments he heard the bird swearing, squawking, kicking and screaming and then, suddenly, there was absolute quiet.
Jimmy was frightened that he might have actually hurt the bird, and quickly opened the freezer door.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto Jimmys extended arm and said, Im sorry that I offended you with my language and my actions, and I ask your forgiveness. I will endeavor to correct my behavior.
Jimmy was astounded at the changes in the birds attitude and was about to ask what had changed him, when the parrot continued, May I ask what the Chicken did?
