VER SINCE I WAS A CHILD, I'VE ALWAYS HAD A FEAR OF SOMEONE UNDER MY BED AT NIGHT. SO I WENT TO A PSYCHIATRIST AND TOLD HIM...
'I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody under it. I'm scared..... I think I'm going crazy!'
'Just put yourself in my hands for one year,' said the psychiatrist. 'Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears..'
'How much do you charge?'
'Eighty dollars per visit,' replied the doctor.
'I'll sleep on it.....' I said.
Six months later, the psychiatrist met me on the street.
'Why didn't you come to see me about those fears you were having?' he asked.
'Well, Twenty thousand shillings a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money! A bartender cured me for Tshs 5,000. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pick-up!'
'Is that so!' With a bit of an attitude he said, 'and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?'
'He told me to cut the legs off the bed - Ain't nobody under there now!!!'
