"Two psychiatrists were at a convention. As they conversed over dinner, one asked the other, 'So, tell me, what was your most difficult case?'
The other replied, 'Well, let's see...I had a patient who lived in a pure fantasy world. He believed that an uncle in South America was going to die and leave him a fortune.
All day long he waited for a letter to arrive from an attorney. He never went out, he never did anything, he merely sat around and waited for this fantasy letter from this fantasy uncle. I worked with this man eight years.'
'So, what was the result?'
'It was an eight-year struggle. Every day for eight years, but I finally cured him.
And then..... that stupid letter arrived!'"
