And here is the rest of the story concerning the definition of an expert. One definition is being more then twenty miles from home.
Psychiatrist vs. Bartender
Ever since I was a child, I've always had a fear of someone under my bed at night. So I went to a shrink and told him: “I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody under it. I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy.”
“Just put yourself in my hands for one year" said the shrink. "Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears.”
“How much do you charge?” “Eighty dollars per visit,” replied the doctor. “I'll sleep on it,” I said.
Six months later the doctor met me on the street. “Why didn't you come to see me about those fears you were having?” he asked. “Well, eighty bucks a visit, three times a week for a year, is $12,480.00 A bartender cured me for $10.00.
“Is that so?” With a bit of an attitude he said, “And how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?” “He told me to cut the legs off the bed. There’s nobody under there now.”
It's always better to get a second opinion.
