Max at the therapist's Max: Doc, how will I overcome my shyness? Therapist (having a brainstorm): Max, take off your clothes and walk over to the window and look outside. Then stick out your tongue and put your thumbs in your ears and wiggle your fingers. (Max complies) Therapist: Very good, Max. Max: You think that will help me? Therapist: I doubt it, but that will teach my neighbor not to get on my bad side.
