One out of every three persons is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of two of your best friends. If they are OK, then it must be you.

My mother always said that the youngest of my older brothers was her Chinese baby despite his blond hair and blue eyes. Around the time he was born in 1962 an article appeared in the Montreal Gazette stating that one out of every five children born today was Chinese. Since here was her fifth child he must therefore be Chinese.
(She was kidding.)

The first statement only says that on the average, I am suffering from a mental illness with one-third chance. I have no proof to refute that!  Manoj.

Jackie, of course, wasn't kidding. But then I happen to know that two of her friends are totally whacked out, so she must be triply sane.

Dear Faldage,
Aptually®, I seem to be a part of quite a variety of triangles, and in some I am definitely the only sane one. So perhaps in the others, I can get balanced out, by losing it entirely, such as when I go skinny-dipping hi, m & bor blurt amorous assertionshi s.

"Property is theft. Therefore theft is property. Therefore this ship is mine". - Zaphod Beeblebrox. This sort of logic is commonly found in my school.
