Do You Know Your Phobias
Your psychiatrist has just diagnosed you with the following phobias. What is it that you're afraid of?
Put the whole lot together and it seems like you are in fear of a drunken mouse driving the cab you just hired over the Golden Gate Bridge offering you a cold beer in a strong gale.
Wow.... That's odd. Did you know there's a fear of Garlic? I'm in an AP Psychology class right now and for our final exam we have to pick psychological disorder to do a report on. There's actually a help program for people with a fear of garlic.
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.
Please don't leave spam or 'Awesome blog, come visit mine' messages. I'll delete them soon after.

ReplyDeleteI'm always amused by all the phobias there are out there (There's probably a word for that, too!).
ReplyDeleteNice work Howie, putting it all together! :-)

Why am I not surprised by that?
