An elementary school teacher in Columbia Maryland was filling in for the day care provider. She became concerned with this one little boy who drew all his pictures in heavy black crayon. He drew black horses, black cows, black cats and even a black sun.

She notified the school's Principal and the Nurse, as well as a Child Psychiatrist at the Howard County Hospital; the Department of Juvenile Services and the Department of Social Services, and arranged a meeting with these experts, the boy, and his parents.

After a while, they finally got to the root of the problem -- it was the only unbroken crayon the little boy had.

Psychiatrist to patient on couch: "There is a man following you. He's trying to collect my bill."

A famous London analyst was lecturing to a group of students regarding careful observation of their patients. "For example," he went on, "for years experts and laymen have speculated as to the enigmatic smile on Mona Lisa. To one unencumbered by the sophistication of our discipline, it might mean almost anything from her taking a new lover to just having finished making love.

But I tell you this students, that smug, sly smile can only have one explanation. Mona Lisa was just informed she isn't pregnant."

Overheard in a Columbia psychiatrist's waiting room: "I can't help it doctor. I keep thinking my superiority complex is not only bigger and better than anybody else's, it's more complicated."

A famous shrink had just published his first novel. He received quite a few complimentary letters. One glowing one stood out from all the rest though. The writer clearly expected the doctor to recognize him by name and reputation, which he didn't.

Finally, he sent a non-committal reply ending with: "Thank you for your kind letter about my recent story. I admire your work too."

Several weeks later, the good doctor came to find out that the man was a convicted axe murderer in prison for life w/o parole.
