Thought this was pretty good.
Joe had been seeing a psychoanalyst for four years for treatment of the fear that he had monsters under his bed. It had been years since he had gotten a good night's sleep. Furthermore, his progress was very poor, and he knew it. So, one day he stopped seeing the psychoanalyst and decided to try something different.
A few weeks later, Joe's former psychoanalyst met his old client in the supermarket, and was surprised to find him looking well-rested, energetic, and cheerful. 'Doc!' Joe said, 'It's amazing! I'm cured!'
'That's great news!' the psychoanalyst responded thoughtfully. 'You seem to be doing much better. What happened?'
'I went to see my grandson,' Joe said enthusiastically, 'and he cured me in just ONE conversation!'
'One conversation?!' the psychoanalyst asked incredulously.
'Yeah,' continued Joe, 'my grandson is a carpenter.'
'A carpenter?' the psychoanalyst asked. 'How did he cure you in one session?'
'Oh, easy,' Joe replied. 'He told me to cut the legs off my bed.'
