# Teaching freshman English at college in New York I have very strict about grammar and punctuation. One day as we read the works of the modern poet, a young woman seemed puzzled. “How come he uses capital letters in the middle of the sentence and misspells some of the words?” She asked. “That’s called poetic license,” I explained. “Oh,” she replied. “How can I apply for one.”

@ Sheldon: “I understand you have been going to a psychiatrist. Do you think that has helped you?” Lloyd: “It certainly has, only a few weeks ago when the phone rang I was afraid to answer it. Now I go right ahead and answer the phone whether it rings or not.”

* Then there was the Texan who was seeing a psychiatrist. His trouble was that he kept forgetting the Alamo.
