When psychaitrists visit severely and most very severely mentally ill people
like me in order to make sure I am still alive and to make sure they do not
get the blame if I am not - what they do is ask a question and then you can
see their eyes glaze over and they "swtich" off - do not listen to a word
you say and almost take a nap. This is typical behaviour for them.

Anyhow what you do is when they have asked the question - you answer quite
normally and watch as their eyes glaze over and they switch off and they do
not listen to a word.

So you rabbit on for a bit about nothing. And then when you stop they say
"Glad to hear you are doing so well. When shall make our next appointment"
and then (here is the funny bit) you say
"So it is OK then - the murder? You mean murder is nothing to worry about?"
At this stage the psychaitrist sits bolt upright and looks very guilty as he
knows he has been caught out for not listening to you.
It is a really funny thing to do to catch them out like that.
And then when they say what murder? You say the one I was telling you
about - were you not listening or something?
They do look so daft.
