Old joke; can't remember where I heard it. Fellow goes to a psychiatrist and says: "Doc, you must help my brother! He's really sick or demented or something." The psychiatrist asks him what the problem is with his brother. "Well, doctor, it's somewhat embarrassing, but ... but ... my brother is convinced he's a ... a ... a chicken!! (He crumples into the couch in utter shame and devastation.) Oh God, what are we to do?" The doctor replies: "Well, that certainly is very unusual, and certainly very interesting. Why don't you have him spend a week or so here with us at the hospital. We can run some tests, provide a diagnosis and perhaps even a prognosis." The fellow replies: "Well, doctor, you see, we would do that, but ... but ... we really need the eggs."
