    A psychiatrist needed a plumber.  He fixed the leak within 20 minutes and charged $200.  The psychiatrist complained, "I used to be able to charge $200 an hour, but now with managed care, I can get no more than $100 an hour.  How can you charge $200 for 20 minutes?"  The plumber replied, "When I was a psychiatrist, I could not charge that much either."

    How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?  Only one, but the bulb must want to change.
