Roses are red. Violets are blue. I'm a schizophrenic...and so am I.

I wonder what percentage of Brits are nuts? :o)

IN Britain, they tally up the sane. It's quicker.

This reminds me of a great Woody Allen line (from Zelig).

Woody plays a guy who takes on the personality of whomever he's with at the time. He's lying on a couch, talking to his psychiatrist, and he says (not necessarily verbatim):

"Well, I've really got to get going. I've got a practice downtown. I'm treating two sets of schizophrenic siamese twins; I'm getting paid by eight people."

The minority happily congregate on this wonderful Forum and see what the normal cannot see, but which will hit them smack in the noggin real soon now ...

Sometimes you feel like a nut... Sometimes you don't!

"...one out of 5 Americans is nuts.... "

I believe the follow-up goes, "If the four people around you seem normal, then it's YOU."

But, way more important: What percentage of Americans takes daily medication of some sort? What percentage is dependent on some form of medication/drug in order to survive/function?

What happens when this chemical supply dries up?

I disagree with this number. C'mon now...what's the number? 2.3 of 5 voted for our illustrious leader. rofl

Ther are five in our little family unit here in the bunker and we are starting to watch each other pretty close after hearing that.

SH, you commented, "In Britain, they tally up the sane. It's quicker." But my dear fellow, in this, as in everything, the British simply have higher standards.

So,

How many people work in government positions? Start at the top, and pause when you get to "The Surgeon General..."

This could explain why my favorite tv show of all time is "Loony Tunes." ;-)

Living in a very large pecan orchard, I have noticed a change in my behavior. I hate blue-jays and squirrels. My wife does indicate that I am beginning to act like some of the local denizens though. Now where did I bury that AK-47?
