Dear Dr. Psycho!

Jonmundur Sigurdsson decided to visit a psychologist by his employer´s advice, having gone through a difficult divorce from the woman he´d been married to for about 20 years. Here´s a short summary of their dialogue: Jonmundur is M: and the psycho is S:

Jonmundur arrives at the right moment, 11.00 am, a clinic-girl shows him to the door she then opens, introducing him in quite a hurried manner: JONmundur is here and then Jonmundur enters the room.

P: Please sit down on the bench Jon.

M: Thank you, but my name´s Jonmundur.

P: Well. Yes so you´ve lost your memory? By the blow on the head?

M: What blow on the head, Mundi asks astonished.

P: Well, when you received the ship-boom on your head.

M. The ship-boom, what ship-boom? I have never been out to sea or into a boat.

P: No, these are normal reflexes from a man who´s lost his memory.

M: Lost the memory?? That hasn´t happened to me and my name´s Jonmundur.

P: Yes dear Jon, just take it easy, everything will come clear.

M: What will come clear??

P: Your memory and name.

M I actually do know what my name is, Mundi says, but something must be wrong with your mind!

P: Ye, ye that´s what you all say.

M: Are you quite sure that you´re a psychologist, Mundi asks??

P: Yes, I´m quite sure about that, but what´s your occupation, asks Psycho??

M: I fly.

P: Yes, do you fly? And how do you do that?

M: With the Falcons in Luxenborg.

P: Yes do you fly like a falcon? And the psychologist writes something, speculating.

M: Yes and have done for five years now.

P: What´s your favorite meal??

M: Ptarmigans and chicken, but how does it concern my problem, Mundi asks??

P: Do you hunt yourself??

M: Yes the ptarmigans, but I do purchase the chicken in Hagkaup if it really matters. Mundi is becoming a little jaded.

P: Yes do you fly after the ptarmigans???

M: Is there something the matter with you??? No I shoot them.

P: Do you have a permit to shoot??

M: Yes and I own a lot of guns.

P: Are you using them these days???

M: Having become tired listening to this nonscense replies: -Yes and I do carry a revolver on my person,

if I would have to defend myself.

P: Defend from what??

M: The predatory birds of course.

P: Well, but aren´t you one of them???

M: Huh me??

P: Yes you?

M: My good fellow I think you´ll just have to go to a psychiatrist, stands up and puts a hand into a pocket of his jacket.

P: Hey it´s no need for a weapon.

M: What am I supposed to pay for this nonscense, putting his billfold on the table, the same moment as the counter-girl knocks lightly on the door introducing Jon Sigurdsson just having arrived.

P: Darn, you are Jonmundur Sigurdsson?

M: Yes just as I have been telling you all the time.

THE END
