bonjour brightside

i told W i had to go to the library to do something important. so we cut the conversation short and parted ways. 10 minutes later W saw me in the library and crept up behind me.

W: something important hey?

E: err.. yeah.. no.. i WAS going to read some pysch…i swear (while trying to hide my copy of UK ELLE magazine)

seriously whatever i said to explain myself just sounded ….lame. i hope W doesn’t think i’m trying to fob him off.

psych patient: you see this tv, it is against me.

E: how so?

PP: when i press this button, the screen goes blue. that is the code they use to make me sick

E: but you just pressed AV1… ALL TVs show a blue screen when you press AV1…

PP: NO! you do not understand. it is the code they use to get ME really sick. only my tv has a blue screen.

E: well my tv has a blue screen too……. see if you press it again it goes back to TV mode

PP: you are not getting the point. you do not understand.

case in point – NEVER argue with a patient who is acutely psychotic.
