A man was eating a meal at a restaurant. He checks his pockets and leaves
his tip -- three pennies.

As he strides toward the door, his waitress muses, only half to herself,
"You know, you can tell a lot about a man by the tip he leaves."

The man turns around, curiosity getting the better of him. "Oh, really?
Tell me, what does my tip say?"

"Well, this penny tells me you're a thrifty man."

Barely able to conceal his pride, the man utters, "Hmm, true enough."

"And this penny, it tells me you're a bachelor."

Surprised at her perception, he says, "Well, that's true, too."

"And the third penny tells me that your father was one, too."

[onyx]

FOTFLOL! I love it! How true, how pathetically true!

[Lady Jag]

Good morning!

[Lady Jag]

To identify emotionally disturbed individuals accurately, Algozzine,
Foster, and Kaufman (1979) developed the CAT TEST. This  simple, yet
novel test is easily administered by professionals, parents, and aides.
It involves three simple steps.

(1) place testee in empty room facing far wall;

(2) place cat into center of room, close and latch door;

(3) after 10 minutes, open the door.

Algozzine, etal., note that the CAT TEST allows fine discriminations
between sub classifications of emotional disturbance. They offer the
following guidelines for interpretation of results.

1. OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE - four neat,  meticulous piles  of fur to
be found in the corners of room - cat alive, but cold.

2. SOCIALIZED DELINQUENT -  fur scattered randomly  about the room
and on testee - cat alive, still cold.

3a. MANIC/DEPRESSIVE (MANIC STAGE) - pieces of cat scattered randomly
about room - cat terminated.

3b. MANIC/DEPRESSIVE (DEPRESSIVE STAGE) - pieces of testee scattered
randomly about room - emotional stability of cat suspect.

4. PARANOID REACTION - testee cowering in far corner of room - cat
alive and sleeping in center of room.

5. PSYCHOPATHOLOGY - only evidence of cat is skin, wrapped loosely
about testee's head - cat assumed terminated.

6. SCHIZOPHRENIC REACTION - testee in center of room carrying on
long existential discussion with cat - cat alive, but confused.

7. NEUROTIC REACTION - testee asking cat for advise about migraine
headache - cat alive and still confused.

8. CATATONIC REACTION - testee in corner of room with back arched, hair
on end, hissing and refusing to acknowledge presence of cat - cat alive,
confused, and sexually aroused.

[Mo1]

Yes a lot better and thanks for asking .. today I can actually breath

Now I need to find drugs to get rid of this headache I have though

I'm a mess this week .. *L*
