Mumuni, who was in a mental
hospital was being reviewed for
possible release.
When asked what he would do if
released, he replied, "I am going
to make a slingshot and come back here and break every damn
window in the place."Obviously,
his release was denied.
Six months later, the board was
again considering his release and
again asked him the same question. His reply was the same.
"I am going to make a sling shot
and come back here and break
every damn window in the place."
Again, he was turned down.
Several months later he was complaining to a fellow patient
that he could never seem to get
released. The patients asked him
what he said when they
interviewed him, and Mumuni told
him. The patient said, "You will never
get released with answers like
that. You have to tell them what
they want to hear. Let me give
you some advice on how to
answer them when they ask you questions."
So, after considerable coaching,
Mumuni felt that he was ready.
So when the board met again,
they again asked him what he
would do if they let him out. But this time he was ready.
Mumuni said, "I am going to get a
job, find an apartment and settle
down."
"Good," they said, and then what?
He said, "I want to meet a nice girl and start dating." They agreed he
was making real progress and
asked, "And then what ?"
"One night when we are alone in
my apartment, I am going to make
passionate love to my girlfriend. I am going to take her dress off,
and then take her bra off and lie
her down on the bed."
"Yes," they said excitedly.
"Then I am going to gently remove
her panties," he continued. The board members were really
getting excited now and asked,
"Then what are you going to do ?"
He said, " I am going to take the
elastic out of those panties, make
myself a slingshot, come back here and break every damn window in this place!
