Joke: Cured somebody of waiting for a letter

Two psychiatrists were at a convention. As they conversed over a drink, one
asked, "What was your most difficult case?"

The other replied, "I had a patient who lived in a pure fantasy world. He
believed that an uncle in South America was going to die and leave him a
fortune. All day long he waited for a letter to arrive from an attorney. He
never went out, he never did anything, he merely sat around and waited for
this fantasy letter from this fantasy uncle. I worked with this man for
eight years."

"What was the result?"

"Like I said, it was an eight year struggle. Every day for eight grueling
years, but I finally cured him... and then the stupid letter arrived!"
