Burnin' down the house

Dr. Grumpy: "What can I do for you?"

Mr. Prolixin: "My arms are on fire!"

Dr. Grumpy: "You mean they feel like they're on fire?"

Mr. Prolixin: "NO! THEY'RE REALLY ON FIRE!"

Dr. Grumpy: "Okay..."

Mr. Prolixin: "CAN'T YOU SEE THE SMOKE AND FLAMES?"

Dr. Grumpy: "Well, no."

Mr. Prolixin: "Ya know, neither can my psychiatrist."

    Sometimes, it's just not worth it to try and reorient patients. Just go with the flow ... Yes, of course, let me get the CO2 extinguisher.

    This totally reminds me of part of Eddie Murphy's "Raw", which I won't repeat, but maybe someone here knows what I'm talking about? ;)

    Aha! I found the Eddie Murphy "Raw" segment of which I wrote in my last post. It's at the 20:45 point and thereabouts, on this YouTube video:

    Call the cops. Mental patients aren't supposed to have firearms.

    "The worst pain is when the mind is in pain." A father said that to me as I was about to represent his mentally ill son for som minor indiscretion. I have never forgotten it, and I believe it to be true.

    But on the topid of arms. I go out for my bike ride and there is a zaftig woman on the path, flapping her arms like a bird as a form of exercise, but she is taking up the width of the path. I say she needs more lift as I go by. The string of profanity still burns my ears.

    I think this explains quite a lot of the behavior I see on Houston freeways.
