http://jokes4all.net/basketball.gifThe psychology teacher had just finished a lecture on mental health and had proceeded to give an oral quiz to the students. Speaking specifically about manic depression, the teacher asked, "How would you diagnose a patient who walks back and forth screaming at the top of his lungs one minute, then sits in a chair weeping uncontrollably the next?"

A young man in the rear of the room raised his hand and answered, "A basketball coach?"

That description sounds an awful lot like something that actually happened in my Psychology 100 class. Some brothers in one of the fraternities known for their parties and extensive test files decided to use in class something from the text and lectures. Each time the instructor took a drag on his cigarette, the brothers acknowledged it by clearing their throats and nodding. It worked! Soon the instructor was chasing his cigarette across the front of the lecture hall!
