A patient went to see a psychiatrist and said, "Doctor, every night I cannot sleep, because I always feel that there is some one under my bed. So I always get up and look. And there is no one under my bed at all. So I crawl under the bed to reassure myself and say, "OK, now I am lying here. There is no one here, so I can sleep." But as soon as I lie down under the bed, I feel that some one is on my bed! Then I crawl up again and have a look, but there is no one on my bed. So I lie there to make sure that no one is on my bed. But as soon as I lie down on my bed, I feel that some one is under it! So I keep crawling up and down all night and cannot sleep. It makes me crazy. Can you help me?"

The psychiatrist replied, "OK. I can help you, but it will take a few years, and at least a year for consulting. You have to see me every week. It costs 70 dollars per hour."

The patient exclaimed in shock, "Oh, my God! That is an awful lot of money for an ordinary working man like me. I have to go home and talk this over with my wife, OK?"

So the next week, the patient phoned the psychiatrist. "Doc, we have solved the problem already, so I am not going to see you."

The doctor asked, "Why is that?"

The patient replied, "My wife has an idea. She said that we should saw off the legs of the bed. Now I'm healed!"

Not bad! Good wife-economical and able to solve problems. A good wife is everything. You all have the best "wife" here.
