Doctor I Need Help – A Funny Phobia Story

‘Doctor O’Hara,’ Ranjit pleaded, ‘I’ve got trouble. Every time I get into
bed, I think there’s somebody under it. I get under the bed, I think there’s
somebody on top of it. Top, under, top, under. You gotta help me, I’m going
crazy.’

‘Just put yourself in my hands for two years,’ said Dr O’Hara, the
psychiatrist, ‘Come and see me three times a week, and I’ll cure your
fears.’

‘How much do you charge?’
‘A hundred dollars per visit.’

‘In that case, I’ll sleep on it,’ answered Ranjit.

Six months later the doctor met Ranjit in the street.

‘Why didn’t you ever come to see me again?’ asked the psychiatrist.
‘For a hundred buck’s a visit?  A bartender cured me for ten dollars,’
smiled Ranjit

‘Is that so! How?’
‘He told me to cut the legs off the bed.’
