A doctor finally saw his patient after a month of trying to contact him. The doctor said:
“I see you’re over a month late for your check-up. Don’t you know that nervous disorders require prompt and regular attention?
What’s your reason?”
The patient answered: “I was just following your orders, Doc.”
“Following my orders? What are you talking about? I gave you no such order.”
The patient said: “You told me to avoid people who irritate me.”

Two men go on a fishing trip.
They rent all the equipment – the reels, the rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods.
The first day that they go fishing, they don’t catch anything.
The same thing happens on the second day, and on the third day. It goes on like this until finally,
on the last day of their vacation, one of the men catches a fish.
As they are driving home they both feel quite depressed. One guy turns to the other and says:
“Do you realise that this one lousy fish we caught cost us fifteen hundred bucks?”
The other guy says: “Wow! Then it’s a good thing we didn’t catch any more!”
