Funny Jokes – Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
A Stanford Medical research group advertised for participants in a
study of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
They were looking for therapy clients who had been diagnosed with this
disorder.
The response was gratifying; they got 3,879 responses one hour after
the ad came out.
All from the same person.
Recently, I was diagnosed
Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. – Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests:
I decide to water my garden.
… As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing.
… As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier.
… I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
… I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full.
… So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first. But then I think, since I’m going to be near the mailbox when I takeout the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only 1 check left.
… My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking.
… I’m going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don’t accidentally knock it over. I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
… As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye–they need to be watered. I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I’ve been searching for all morning.
… I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I’m going to water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won’t remember that it’s on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I’ll water the flowers. I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.
… Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.
… At the end of the day:
* the car isn’t washed
* the bills aren’t paid
* there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter
* the flowers don’t have enough water,
* there is still only 1 check in my check book,
* I can’t find the remote,
* I can’t find my glasses,
* and I don’t remember what I did with the car keys.
… Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I’m really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I’m really tired.
… I realize this is a serious problem, and I’ll try to get some help for it, but first I’ll check
my e-mail.
… Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don’t remember to whom it has been sent.

This is how is manifests itself:
I decide to wash my car. As I start toward to the garage, I notice
that there is mail on the hall table. I decide to go through the
mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash
can under the table, and notice that the trash can is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the
trash first, but then I think that since I’m going to be near the
mailbox when I take out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills
first.
I take my checkbook off the table and see that there is only one check
left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, o I go to my
desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking. I’m going
to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I
don’t accidentally knock it over.
I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the
refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the
counter catches my eye–they need to be watered.
I set the Coke down on the counter and I discover my reading
glasses that I’ve been searching for all morning.
I decide I’d better put them back on my desk, but first I’m going to
water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water,
and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.
I realize that tonight, when we go to watch TV, we will be looking for
the remote, but nobody will remember that it’s on the kitchen table, so
I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I’ll
water the flowers.
I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up
the spill.
Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.
At the end of the day; the car isn’t washed, the bills aren’t paid,
there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, the flowers aren’t
watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook,
I can’t find the remote, I can’t find my glasses, and I don’t remember

baffled because I know I was busy all day long and I’m really tired. I
realize this is a serious problem, and I’ll try to get some help for it,
but first I’ll check my e-mail.
Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to close friends you
know, because I don’t remember to whom it has been sent.
Don’t laugh – if this isn’t you yet, your day is coming! And if I have
sent this to you before….well, now you know why you’re getting it again.
