Aspiring Psychiatrists

The aspiring psychiatrists were attending their first

class on emotional extremes.

"Just to establish some parameters," said the

professor, to the student from Arkansas, "What is the

opposite of joy?"

"Sadness," said the student.

"And the opposite of depression?" he asked of the

young lady from Oklahoma.

"Elation," she said.

"And you sir," he said to the young man from Texas,

"How about the opposite of woe?"

The Texan replied, "Sir, I believe that would be

'giddy up'."
