Doctor: “So, Mike, what seems to be the problem?”
Mike: “Doctor, every night when I go to bed, I feel like someone is hiding underneath it.”
“I’m terrified! I can’t sleep at all.”
The doctor nodded seriously.
“Hmm… this sounds like a deep psychological issue. You’ll need therapy for five months, with one session every week.”
Mike swallowed hard.
“Okay, Doctor. How much is each session?”
The doctor calmly replied,
“$5,000.”
Mike nearly fell out of his chair.
Five months later, the doctor ran into Mike at the grocery store.
“Mike! I haven’t seen you in months. Why did you stop your treatment?”
Mike smiled.
“Oh, I’m completely cured, Doc!”
“Really? That’s wonderful! What treatment worked?”
Mike replied,
“My friend gave me some excellent advice.”
The doctor was impressed.
“And what did he recommend?”
Mike shrugged.
“Nothing complicated. He said, ‘Dude… just sell the bed.’”
The doctor stared at him.
“So you don’t feel like someone is hiding under your bed anymore?”
Mike grinned.
“Nope. I sleep on a mattress on the floor now!”
The doctor stood there in silence.
Mike smiled and added,
“Problem solved… and I saved almost $100,000!”
The doctor sighed.
“I should’ve gone into furniture sales.”
