Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist1995

Laura the Receptionist:
Dr. Katz?

Dr. Katz:
Yeah?

Laura the Receptionist:
Um, it's probably a mixup, but you got a message inviting you to speak at an adult education class next week.

Dr. Katz:
Really?

Laura the Receptionist:
Yeah, they asked you to send a recent article so the class could familiarize themselves with your work. [snickers]

Dr. Katz:
Huh. That sounds...

Laura the Receptionist:
I mean... There has to be dozens of Dr. Katzes in the phone book, so the odds are pretty good that...

Dr. Katz:
No, I don't think it's a mixup, Laura. I think that somebody out there is familiar with my work and is interested in hearing what I have to say. I'm not surprised, in fact I'm pleased.

Laura the Receptionist:
Um... Well, I didn't realize that you had theories.

Dr. Katz:
Well, of course I have theories.

Laura the Receptionist:
What kind of theories?

Dr. Katz:
Well, over the years I've put forth many different theories on a vast range of subjects, but, you know, described to a layperson such as yourself...

Laura the Receptionist:
What about the "recent article" part of the invitation?

Dr. Katz:
Well, see, "recent" in this field really means "post-Freud." And for your information, young lady, my work has been published all over the world in seven different languages.

Laura the Receptionist:
Well, would you like to fax them an article?

Dr. Katz:
Well, unfortunately English is not one of them.
