A man goes to a Psychologist and says, "Doc I got a real problem, I can't stop thinking about sex." The Psychologist says, "Well let's see what we can find out", and pulls out his ink blots. "What is this a picture of?" he asks. The man turns the picture upside down then turns it around and states, "That's a man and a woman on a bed making love." The Psychologist says, "very interesting," and shows the next picture. "And what is this a picture of?" The man looks and turns it in different directions and says, "That's a man and a woman on a bed making love." The Psychologists tries again with the third ink blot, and asks the same question, "What is this a picture of?" The patient again turns it in all directions and replies, "That's a man and a woman on a bed making love." The Psychologist states, "Well, yes, you do seem to be obsessed with sex." "Me!?" demands the patient. "You're the one who keeps showing me the dirty pictures!"

St. Peter, addressing the doctor, says, "Tell me what you did with your life and why you should be admitted to heaven." The doctor replies, "Well, I practiced medicine for over 30 years, was a distinguished surgeon, and saved thousands of lives in the course of my career". "That's very admirable", responds St. Peter "Welcome to Heaven". St. Peter then turns to the nurse and says, "Tell me what you did with your life and why you should be admitted to heaven." She replies "well, I was a nurse for over 25 years, and spent most of my career working in the emergency room. I, too, saved thousands of lives, in addition to having to put up with crap from know-it-all doctors." "You have also lived a very admirable life", says St. Peter, "Welcome to Heaven". Turning to the managed care executive, St. Peter says, "tell me what you did with your life and why you should be admitted to heaven". The managed-care exec responds, somewhat indignantly "Why, I worked for one of the largest health-insurance companies in the world. It was my job to find and eliminate wasteful spending on the part of health- care professionals, and in the course of my career, I saved my company millions of dollars." "Excellent", replied St. Peter. "Welcome to Heaven. You may stay for up to three days". For more great psychology jokes, visit http://www.PlanetPsych.com/zSelf_Help/humor.htm.
