One.
But the lightbulb has really gotta wanna change.
Hi, I'm Flick SnotGrass, good to meet you.
Now obviously I don't know who you are, your age, your gender, your 'problem' etc however Scientific Studies Show that laughing eases misery.
You can't laugh and sulk at the same time...though I've tried.
So I'd like to offer this space, this thread, as a place for us to tell each other MH jokes.
MH Jokes!!! Is he mad?
Well yes, that's why I'm here.
Anyway, there's a funny joke about a guy who gets a flat tyre/tire right by a Lunatic Asylum and he loses the four nuts down the drain and can't put the spare on....stop me if you've heard it....and one of the inmates has been watching the whole scene unfold and says to the guy 'Take one of the nuts off each of the three other wheels and put the spare on with three nuts and drive carefully till you get to a garage'.
"That's brilliant!!" said the driver.
"I know. I may be crazy but I aint stupid"
Now you tell me one.

One from my dear departed mother ...
The scene is a dining room in a hospice for the clinically insane.
'Why are we all here? Because we are not all "there"!'
And if I may be permitted to be so rude about your BB identity: "Flicks not grass" is when a horse decides to watch a film rather than eating in his field.
And as for whatever constitutes an Aging Youngster, can somebody please come and change my nappy. It has become rather smelly.
Thanks for sharing the idea. Some levity really helps!
All the best,
AAY

Hi Flick,
Yep you are my kind of funny. If we can't laugh at mental illness who can?!
Here is one I like...
The bathtub test
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.
“Well,” said the Director, “we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.”
“Oh, I understand,” said the visitor. “A normal person would use the bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup.
“No.” said the Director, “A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?".
😊Thank you Flick. I'm grateful for you here on the forums.

Hey An Aging Youngster,
Good to meet you..."Flicks not grass" ...
Does your Mum have any more jokes? My Mum is, and my Grandma, was heartstoppingly funny but I can't post them here...."I'm warming the whole of my body" my Grandma once shocked me as she stuck her bum closer to the fire and lifted her skirts up a bit...
When Nurse comes to change your nappy tell her Flick's next.
